There are also several 2* hotels in Lorient, cf. Tourism office website.

 

If you are planning to stay near the train station or in the city centre (centre ville, in French), you will find a great number of restaurants, cafes, bars/pubs, bakeries and creperies at a walking distance. You can also request the delivery of your meals using UberEats or Deliveroo.

 

For travelling in Lorient, the best and easiest option is to use the local bus network (CTRL). Unfortunately Uber is not operating in Lorient yet, only taxis. However, the Lorient bus network is very well served with frequent buses. You can download the map of the network here. A map of the city centre is also available for download here.

Tickets can be purchased with the bus driver (1.50€, cash and card accepted).

Please note that in the first day you arrive at the venue, at the registration desk, a bus card will be provided to you so you can travel for free during the conference days using the local bus network.

If you plan a longer stay in Lorient, you may also be interested in using the app tixiPASS - CTRL Lorient network (Google Play for Android or App Store for iOS, English language available) wich offers multiple options for tickets purchasing, such as:

  • 1 trip / ticket unité: 1.50€ (same as buying at the bus)
  • 1 day / journée: 4.50€ (you can travel as much as you want during one day)
  • 10 trips / 10 voyages: 13€

DO NOT forget to validate the ticket in the app before entering the bus. You will need to show it to the bus driver and/or in case of tickets control.

Tickets are valid for any bus and/or boat of the CTRL Lorient network.

 

If you are familiar with Google Maps, you may use the "get directions" option selecting "walking" or "transit" (instead of the default "driving"). The "transit" option will provide you all the buses you can take with the corresponding schedule.
