During the seventeenth century the port city of Lorient was an important base for ships of the Compagnie des Indes, the French equivalent of the Dutch East India Company and the English East India Company. Little is left to see of that history, as the city was almost completely destroyed during World War II. Only the submarine pens of the Nazis remained, which were subsequently enlarged by the French for their own nuclear submarines... The naval base has been deserted though.
Lorient has almost 60,000 inhabitants.
