Les Minimes
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Les Minimes, Port de plaisance des Minimes, is the largest marina in France for pleasure boats. It is located in the city of La Rochelle, as the new part, with a university campus, shops, restaurants and a cinema.
Its name is derived from the establishment of a convent of the Frères Minimes ("Order of the Minimes Brothers") in this area during the Middle Ages.[citation needed] Today, the whole area has undergone an urban development, with the construction of many residential buildings, universities, shops, and restaurants. There are over 10,000 students in Les Minimes, with campuses for Excelia Group school established in 1988, and La Rochelle University which was first opened in 1974, but became a university in 1993.[1][2][3]
