context_page_description: Lorient is a town and seaport in the Morbihan department of Brittany in North-Western France.
context_section_description: Lorient is located on the south coast of Brittany, where the Scorff river and the Blavet river join to form the roadstead of Lorient(fr), before discharging into the Atlantic Ocean.
