9 Must-Do Activities in Enghien-les-Bains

An iconic spa town just outside Paris, Enghien-les-Bains invites you to relax and explore. From wellness and nature to unique experiences, here are the activities you won’t want to miss for a rejuvenating and inspiring getaway.

Admire or Swim in the Lake of Enghien-les-Bains

This 43-hectare lake, with a 3-km circumference, is perfect for a leisurely stroll beneath the century-old plane trees lining the pier. Originally just the “new pond of Anguien” with its mill, the site was transformed after 1766 with the discovery of a sulfur spring that gave rise to the local thermal spa industry.

George Sand, Ingres, Alexandre Dumas, Napoleon III, and Karl Marx all let their thoughts wander along these shores, which have enchanted princes and billionaires from all over Europe. A stroll around the lake reveals beautiful gardens, remarkable trees, numerous birds, and historic homes that bear witness to the town’s history. Available water activities: sailing, rowing, pedal boats, and fishing.

Horse Racing at the Enghien-les-Bains Racetrack

Located 2 kilometers from downtown, this 44-hectare racetrack—dedicated to harness racing and steeplechase—ranks second in France after Paris-Vincennes.

Every race day becomes an open-air spectacle featuring thrilling starts, photo finishes, and an electric atmosphere in the stands. The calendar comes alive from spring through fall: the Grand Prix de l’Atlantique in April, the Estivales d’Enghien in July and August, and themed days packed with entertainment.
