Épinay-sur-Seine (French pronunciation: [epinɛ syʁ sɛn] , literally Épinay on Seine) is a commune in the Seine-Saint-Denis department, in the northern suburbs of Paris, France.

History

[edit]

On 7 August 1850, a part of the territory of Épinay-sur-Seine was detached and merged with a part of the territory of Deuil-la-Barre, a part of the territory of Saint-Gratien, and a part of the territory of Soisy-sous-Montmorency to create the commune of Enghien-les-Bains.

Francis, Duke of Cádiz (13 May 1822 – 17 April 1902), king consort of Spain, took up residence at the château of Épinay-sur-Seine in 1881 until his death in 1902. The chateau now serves as Épinay-sur-Seine's city hall.

From 1902 it was home to the Epinay Studios.
