Pierre Menet

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Pierre Menet is chairman emeritus of the French Lancôme Company. He is credited, along with Gaëtan Mourgue D'Algue and Dominque Motte, with bringing the Canada Cup golf tournament to Saint-Nom-la-Bretèche in 1963 and helping popularize the then little known sport of Golf in France. The tournament was renamed in 1970 "Trophée Lancôme", after the name of Menet's company, and brought even more prominence to the Golf de Saint Nom by attracting players such as Arnold Palmer, Gary Player and Severiano Ballesteros to compete in the event.
