Lorient

As I stepped off the bus in Rennes, I couldn’t help but think about the journey that had just brought me here. The 2 hour journey from Lorient had been a breeze, and at a cost of $3, it was an absolute steal. In this guide, I’ll walk you through the ins and outs of traveling from Lorient to Rennes by bus, and compare it to the train option.

The first time I boarded the bus from Lorient to Paris , I noticed the crisp morning air as the coach pulled out of the small platform, the scent of fresh coffee mingling with the scent of the sea. That moment set the tone for a journey that, while longer than the train, offered a unique perspective on the French countryside and a surprisingly comfortable ride.
