How far is it from luxemberg? They have an airport, and if its close, you would just hop the border

Snowy Astra, Lorient is in Brittanny, nowhere near luxembourg

You should be able to catch a ferry from Plymouth(I think) to Roscoff then drive to lorient - Approx. 100 miles.
Or, catch a ferry in portsmouth to saint malo, that's 130miles or so.

Lorient has an airport, not sure who flies there though
Alternatives for flying would be Rennes, Brest and Quimper.
