• Rémy est papa.
  Nathalie Faucher spoke with Rémy about the birth of his daughter.

• Lorient et la bataille de l’Atlantique.
  Lorient played an important role in the Battle of the Atlantic : it served as the headquarters of Admiral Dönitz, head of the U-boat fleet. The huge submarine base is still standing, but the rest of the city was razed by Allied bombardments.
