1865<\/b> William Fruing and Company settled in Rivi\u00e8re-au-Renard and built a fishing room, a warehouse used to dry cod for export to European markets. Part of this warehouse still exists in the Auberge Le Caribou.<\/p>

1909<\/b><\/span> The Rivi\u00e8re-au-Renard fishermen's revolt breaks out. Large demonstrations take place in front of the William Fruing and Company business.<\/span><\/p>

1930 <\/b><\/span>William Fruing and Company ceased its commercial activities and sold its various assets. Mr. Philip Mauger Luce, Fruing's operations manager, purchased the establishment and converted it into an inn, giving it the name Caribou Inn, which mainly welcomed an American and English clientele who came to appreciate the unique Gasp\u00e9 landscapes.<\/span><\/p>

1955<\/b><\/span> The Caribou Inn becomes the property of Messrs. L\u00e9on Saintonge and Henry Tremblay. The new occupants will keep the same tourist vocation as Mr. Luce.<\/span><\/p>

1965 <\/b><\/span> Mr. and Mrs. \u00c9lias Dufresne acquired the Auberge and moved it. Initially located very close to the national road, it was brought closer to the sea. Its English name was also changed to a French-language business name, Auberge Caribou. It was then given a much more regional vocation, serving the population all year round.<\/span><\/p>

1968<\/b><\/span> Messrs. Z\u00e9non and Guy Veillette became owners. They carried out a complete renovation and built motel units to better meet the needs of local, regional and tourist customers. Starting in 1974, they operated under the name Auberge-Motel Caribou.<\/span><\/p>

1987<\/b> Mr. Z\u00e9non Veillette retired and the operation was continued by his son, Mr. Guy Veillette, and his wife, Mrs. Claudette Joncas.<\/p>

2009-2010<\/b> Mrs. Myl\u00e8ne Carbonneau and Mr. Guy Lescelleur acquire the noble establishment, rich in history. The name of the operation is changed to Auberge Le Caribou.<\/p>

2010<\/b> The restaurant sector is modernized. Ms. Myl\u00e8ne Carbonneau and Mr. Guy Lescelleur founded the Resto-Pub La R\u00e9volte on July 5, 2010.<\/p>

2012-2013<\/b> Several renovations are being carried out, particularly in the rooms, public areas and outside the buildings.<\/p>

2020<\/b> Mr. Mathieu Samuel acquires the Auberge Le Caribou and the resto-pub La R\u00e9volte and becomes the new owner of the establishment. The rooms are renovated and a golf simulator is installed in the establishment.\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
