The town is also home to one of the largest and most popular casinos in France. In more recent years, Enghien has been featured in plenty of popular culture, including in the Amelie film The chief purpose many have for escaping from the hustle and bustle of busy Paris to the countryside is relaxation most of the activities on offer around the lake are of a gentle nature and it’s incredibly easy to forget that you’re under a fifteen-minute train ride away from one of the most popular cities in the world one of my favourites is to take the 3.3 km walking route along the banks of the water and soak up the views One of the most gorgeous aspects of Enghien-les-Bains is that there are plenty of buildings from the Belle Epoque era dotted across the shores of the lake Some particularly interesting structures of note include plenty of wooden-framed villas constructed after the Normandy style Look even closer and you’ll also spy neo-classical villas One of the main historical buildings in the town is that of the church of Saint-Joseph which can be found just steps away from the main thoroughfare which makes its way through the heart of the town The first church was financed by a wealthy couple in town and was constructed between 1858 and 1860 The church was again modified in 1866 and in 1927 which resulted in the structure you can see today no guide to Enghien-les-Bains would be complete without mentioning the theatre and casino An all in one building on the fringes of the lake the first casino was installed in the town in 1901 but was soon replaced by a newer building in 1909 the structure was used as a military hospital Then a law prevented gambling and the use of the building as a casino from 1920 right up until 1931 when the prohibition was lifted and the casino was once more allowed to open its doors The last restoration of the casino and theatre took place in 2005. Visit today and you’ll soon discover a peaceful rose garden nearby. You can discover all the latest events going on at the theatre on the theatre’s website Though you might want to make a weekend of your trip to Enghien-les-Bains, if you’re shorter on time, or simply wish to be whisked away from the city for a mere few hours, then you can easily take a day trip from Paris to Enghien-les-Bains The journey time between the two destinations is a mere 13 minutes on a transilien train (line H) from Gare du Nord I personally recommend picking up some picnic supplies while in Paris before departing to Enghien-les-Bains as local markets and supermarkets are fewer than in the French capital there are also a variety of takeaway shops and small supermarkets there is a tourist office just across from the train station where you can get leaflets and brochures depicting guided walks (one for around the town and the other for a self-guided tour around the lake The tourist office is open on a daily basis though closed for lunch between 13:00 and 14:00 The brochures and leaflets detailing walks around the town and lake are free and the tourism staff are friendly and professional Sophie Nadeau is a full time travel writer and photographer focused on cultural experiences in Europe and beyond When she's not chasing after the sunset (or cute dogs she sees on her travels) she can be found reading and website in this browser for the next time I comment Δdocument.getElementById( "ak_js_1" ).setAttribute( "value" This site uses Akismet to reduce spam.
