[edit] History
On August 7, 1850, a part of the territory of Saint-Gratien was detached and merged with a part of the territory of Deuil-la-Barre, a part of the territory of Soisy-sous-Montmorency, and a part of the territory of Épinay-sur-Seine to create the commune of Enghien-les-Bains. On that occasion the commune of Saint-Gratien lost the scenic lake now known as the Lake of Enghien.
[edit] Transport
Saint-Gratien is served by Saint-Gratien station on Paris RER line C, by the SNCF with trains for Gare du Nord and by the bus # 138 going to Paris - Porte de Clichy.
