Tour of the lake at Enghien-les-Bains

This hike starts from the beautiful lake of Enghien and ends at the North lake

The walk is very accessible, as Enghien SNCF station is located right next to the lake. Trains run every half-hour (depending on the season) from the Gare du Nord. As well as walking, you can also enjoy pedal-boating and sailing on Lac d'Enghien. It's a great suggestion for a leisurely stroll on a Sunday afternoon.

We leave in direction of the North lake by passing the Avenue of Belt. The road does not allow to make the turn by remaining on the banks. They are private properties which border the lake. Too bad!
