History

At the beginning of the 17th century, merchants who were trading with India had established warehouses in Port-Louis. They later built additional warehouses across the bay in 1628, at the location which became known as ''L'Orient'' (''the Orient'' in French ). Later, the French East India Company, founded in 1664 and chartered by King Louis XIV, established shipyard s there, thus giving an impetus to the development of the city. In attempts to destroy German submarine pen s ( U-boat bases) and their supply lines, most of this city was destroyed by Allied bombing during World War II (see section below). Thus, today's Lorient reflects an architectural style of the 1950s. At the beginning of the 17th century, merchants who were trading with India had established warehouses in Port-Louis.
