Things to see and do Lorient

Part of the beach is quiet and ideal for families with "small pools" as the locals call them, protected by the coral reef. Offshore, its rollers are blessed by surfers. You just have to do a few fathoms to find the fine sand. The beach of Lorient is festive on weekends at the beginning of August: the Fête des quartiers du vent, with music on the beach and local specialities to be tasted. It is also on this beach that fans of Johnny Hallyday gather to pay tribute to him.

This marine cemetery is typical of the island. The small graves, bordered by sand, are all dressed in white and always very colorful with flowers, often artificial. It is a cheerful and radiant place when the sun reflects on the tombstones. Johnny Hallyday rests there since December 11, 2017. Flowers and pebbles engraved with messages from fans line the ground. At night small candles are lit. If you visit the cemetery, it is of course possible, remember that it is a place of recollection and not an attraction.
