Blavet

The Blavet river flows from central Brittany and enters the Atlantic Ocean on the south coast near Lorient. It is 148.9 km long. The river is canalised for most of its length, forming one of the links in the Brittany canal system. It connects with the Canal de Nantes à Brest at Pontivy and runs to Hennebont, a distance of 60 km. From the last lock at Polvern, the river is tidal and considered as a maritime waterway, giving access to the seaport of Lorient and the Atlantic Ocean. It became more important when the western half of that system was cut off by the construction of the Guerlédan dam and hydropower plant. Today, boats coming from Nantes via Redon have to take the Canal du Blavet in order to reach the ocean near Lorient. The source of the Blavet is east of Bulat-Pestivien, Côtes-d'Armor. It flows through the following départements and towns: Côtes-d'Armor: Saint-Nicolas-du-Pélem, Gouarec Morbihan: Pontivy, Hennebont, Lorient Among its tributaries are the Ével and the Scorff.

Landmark Maritime

SMS Regensburg

SMS Regensburg was a light cruiser of the Graudenz class built by the German Kaiserliche Marine. She had one sister ship, SMS Graudenz. The ship was built by the AG Weser shipyard in Bremen, laid down in 1912, launched in April 1914, and commissioned into active service in January 1915. She was named for the German town of Regensburg. The ship was armed with a main battery of twelve 10.5 cm SK L/45 guns and had a top speed of 27.5 knots, though in 1917 she was rearmed with seven 15 cm SK L/45 guns. Regensburg served in the reconnaissance forces of the High Seas Fleet during World War I. She saw significant action at the Battle of Jutland on 31 May – 1 June 1916, where she served as the leader of the torpedo boat flotillas that screened for the I Scouting Group battlecruisers. After the end of the war, she was ceded to France in 1920 and renamed Strasbourg. In 1928 she took part in the Arctic rescue operations searching for the Airship Italia. Removed from service in 1936, she was used as a barracks ship in Lorient until 1944, when she was seized by the Germans and scuttled in the harbor to protect the U-boat pens there.

Architecture

La maison est bâtie en béton. Construite sur deux niveaux, elle est couverte d'un toit-terrasse. Le rez-de-chaussée n'est que partiellement construit, l'étage prenant en partie support sur de fins piliers de soutien. Un balcon courbe, évoquant la silhouette d'un paquebot, est construit en porte-à-faux à l'étage, auquel on accède par un escalier tournant suspendu extérieur. De larges baies, dont une est pourvue d'un vitrage de 7 m, sont produites par Saint-Gobain et ouvrent l'étage.
