Farewell to Lorien re: Tolkien
A fictional forest from J. R. R. Tolkien's Legendarium. Lórien can also refer to the gardens of the Vala Irmo in Valinor (Irmo sometimes being called Lórien himself), and to the Babylon 5 character Lorien.
- I don't know if there is any connexion, but there is a place in Brittany (also has old folklore, Arthurian Legend) called Lorient.
Lorient is one of the three largest fishing ports of France. The origin and name date back from the East India company decision in the 17thyh century to build a new port for its trade vessels in the wide estuary formed by the confluence of two rivers, the Blavet and the Scorff. The port took a part of the name of the company "l'Orient" and became Lorient.
Lorient has a very industrial character but if you insist to visit the city, do it during the "Fetes InterCeltiques", begin August. It turned to one of the greatest Celtic music festivals of France.
