The Casino de Charlevoix is located in Pointe-au-Pic, now part of La Malbaie, about east of Quebec City. The historic Manoir Richelieu is located right next to the casino. Charlevoix is a very popular tourist destination because of its location, next to the Saint Lawrence River and the Laurentian mountains. == History == Inaugurated June 24, 1994 the Casino de Charlevoix was established in the Manoir Richelieu's former summer playhouse on the cliffs of Pointe-au-Pic, a panoramic site visited by vacationers for over a century. The current hotel was built in 1928-1929 using Châteauesque style by architect John Archibald to replace the original 250 room structure (1899) that was destroyed in a fire.〔http://www.fairmont.com/EN_FA/Property/LMR/AboutUs/HotelHistory.htm〕 Owned by Canada Steamship Lines, it was sold in 1966 to Warnock Hersey; in 1971 the hotel was sold to Irish football star John Dempsey, then to provincial government in 1975 and Raymond Malenfant in 1986. In 1998 Loto-Québec teamed up with Canadian Pacific Hotels and the Solidarity Fund QFL to acquire the Manoir Richelieu (now called Fairmont Le Manoir Richelieu), renovate it and expand the Casino de Charlevoix. Reopening in June 1999, the complex has since become a world-class resort. The Casino de Charlevoix also became the first of Québec's casinos to be linked to a hotel. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Casino de Charlevoix」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
