Rue du port

Historic axis of the city, from which we can see the Discovery Tower, the street led to the entrance of the port of the Compagnie des Indes. Lorient has developed along this road that has become a commercial artery. The street illustrates the variety of architectural choices made during the reconstruction: flat or two-sided roofs, window frames, closets for clothes dryers ... The buildings at Place Paul Bert and the corner of rue de la Patrie attract attention by their balcony treatment. In the 1990s, the street of the port, now a pedestrian area, was embellished with plantations and urban furniture.
