A Glamorous Getaway at Barrière Enghien-les-Bains

Bonjour, luxe lovers! Ava and Theo here, still starry-eyed from our stay at Casino Barrière Enghien-les-Bains, just a short train ride from Paris. This lakeside casino hotel resort is a blend of French elegance and vibrant entertainment. From chic suites to gourmet dining, here’s why it swept us off our feet.

Checking In: Lakeside Luxury

We stayed at the Hôtel du Lac, where our suite overlooked the shimmering Enghien Lake. The room’s plush bedding, marble bathroom, and pastel decor felt like Parisian chic meets cozy comfort. The staff welcomed us with a tray of macarons—pistachio for Ava, raspberry for Theo. We spent our first evening on the balcony, sipping sparkling water and planning our adventure.

The Casino Scene

The casino was a showstopper, with its glittering chandeliers and lively buzz. We wandered through, captivated by the stylish decor and upbeat music. Theo tried an interactive trivia game, while Ava danced to a live jazz band. The atmosphere was all about fun and glamour, with guests laughing and mingling. We felt like we’d stepped into a French film!

Dining Delights

Dinner at Le 85 restaurant was a foodie dream. The coq au vin, tender and rich, paired beautifully with a Bordeaux red. We shared a crème brûlée for dessert, cracking the caramelized top with glee. Breakfast the next morning included buttery croissants and fresh orange juice, served with lake views. The resort’s patisserie also tempted us with pain au chocolat for the road.

Relaxation and Exploration

The Soins d’Ailleurs spa was pure bliss. We booked a couples’ massage with lavender oil, emerging relaxed and glowing. The resort’s location made it easy to pop into Paris for a Louvre visit, but we also loved strolling Enghien’s lakeside promenade, where we found a creperie serving Nutella-filled delights. The mix of resort luxury and local charm was perfect.

Why We Loved It

• Foodie Heaven: The French cuisine was unforgettable.
• Glamorous Vibes: The casino’s energy was electric.
