The
Niagara Fallsview Casino Resort in Niagara
Falls, Ontario Canada opened publicly
on June 10, 2004. This $1 billion complex
with a belle époque theme overlooks
the Horseshoe Falls and is one of the
grandest and most extensive destinations
on the Niagara skyline. La Belle Époque,
or "beautiful era", was a period
in France's history that began during
the late 19th century and lasted until
World War I. Occurring at the midpoint
of the Third Republic, the Belle Époque
was considered a golden time of beauty,
innovation, and peace between France and
its European neighbors. New inventions
made life easier at all social levels,
the cultural scene thrived, cabaret, cancan,
and the cinema were born, and art took
new forms with Impressionism and Art Nouveau.
Art and architecture in the style of this
era in other nations is also sometimes
called "Belle Époque"
style.
