André Minangoy

[2][3] He was particularly active in the Alpes-Maritimes region, taking advantage of the "Trente Glorieuses" boom that hit the Côte d'Azur.

His most famous work is Marina Baie des Anges, in Villeneuve-Loubet and a twin ("Sonnenring") is located in Frankfurt, Germany, built by Gunther Balser.

[3] André Minangoy was also close to Pierre Canto, the founder of one of the Côte d'Azur's first marina in Cannes, which already bore his name during his lifetime as Port Pierre-Canto [fr].

[2] In addition to the harbour master's office and staff accommodation, the facilities around the port include a row of shops, a swimming pool and a thalassotherapy centre.

[3] It is not clear, who had the idea of pyramid-shaped buildings encircling the port, either André Minangoy or perhaps Jean Marchand.
