Is Lorient Safe for Women? Crime Rate in Lorient

There is a few things going arpund like a teen getting kidnapped in front of his school. But overall i mean its pretty safe, some men look at you weirdly but they never actually talk to you. Also if you ever come to Lorient there are crackheads and a homeless guy who has a mental illness but they aren't dangerous!

Lorient, like all cities, has a crime rate, but it's not that high, I'd say. It's mostly drugs related crimes that i hear about in the news, like drug traffic. I've never heard something extremely shocking, like murder or rape cases. Of course, you may be approached by men, like in every city, and I don't know if I'm lucky, but those men who approached me left me alone quite quickly when I said no. The worst that has happened to a friend was to be followed for a bit in the streets :/ Of course you don't wanna go alone in weird places at night like everywhere else but I'd say I feel pretty safe in Lorient.

Despite its reputation, Lorient is quite safe of a city! Some neighbourhoods might not be the safest at night (just like in any other city), but during the day, especially during the touristic season, it’s a pretty safe city!

Group travel

Lorient was a calm city, good food and restaurants weren’t overly expensive. The ocean was beautiful, and beaches could be found close to the center. I liked the place, and it was nice to explore the breton culture :)
