I am in the process of moving to a house in Lanester, Brittany which is why I have suspended the profile of my current house. The house in Lorient belongs to my partner, Josie.

Neighbourhood
The house is 50 metres from a small supermarket and 500 metres from shops, bars, restaurants and cafés including the superb market (Les Halles de Merville). Across the road is a juniour school and the area is largely residential.
There are many sandy beaches within cycling distance with varying degrees of security for young children. The area is also good for surfing etc. Ferries within walking distance to get across the estuary to Port Louis, Gavres and L'ile de Groix. More info here: https://www.lorientbretagnesudtourisme.fr/fr/pratique/office-de-tourisme/
Getting to my home
There is a station where high speed trains stop for trips to and from Paris (3 hours) or Nantes or Rennes. The house is 10 minutes off the N165. Airports with links to European destinations include Brest, Rennes and Nantes.
Nearest airport
Rennes is nearest but Nantes much bigger with many more flights. Nantes is 2 hours by train or car.
Getting Around
Walking by far the best plus there is an extensive network of buses and ferries.

Neil
I'm British/Australian and have lived in France for five years. I am in the process of moving closer to may partner so have suspended the profile of my house in Grand-Champ. We are in the USA between 1 and 20 October and are especially interested in exchanges in or close to Manhattan, NY. We already have an exchange booked in Washington but would like to spend 5-7 days in New York between 7 and 17 October 2025.
I travel with my partner Neil.
We like to discover other cultures, architecture, gastronomy and meet beautiful people.
We practice cycling, walking, gym, swimming and salsa.
I have lived in Lorient since I was a child, I am very attached to it, especially because the sea is close and it is good to live there. I am retired, my profession was a special education teacher.
Neil and I each have our own house, mine is in Lorient, 5 minutes walk from the marina, shops and a quarter of an hour by car from the beaches. Neil will soon be moving near Lorient. There are many sites and events to discover in Brittany, wild coasts, archaeological sites, picturesque towns and villages and many folk festivals and festivals in summer
