Lorient is the Brittany’s leading fishing port in tonnage and value, the leading port for landing live langoustines and the first auction in France.
If you pass by, do not hesitate to take a look! For 5 euros, you will know everything about the history and operation of the port and the sector, you can observe the landing and visit the cold rooms, the cutting and processing workshop and the auction room.
In the latter you will attend a sort of spectacle from which you will find it difficult to detach yourself. The screens, the parade of fish, the noise of carpets and boxes are hypnotic. Professional buyers are obviously used to this pace and remain focused, equipped with their remote control to fix the price and become a buyer.
In the rest of our podcastGéraldine Mayr tells you about the ramparts of the citadel of Port Louis, the museum of the East India Company and the markets.
