This Paris may not be in France, but it is home to a 70-foot replica of the Eiffel Tower. Unlike its French namesake, Paris exudes a sense of small-town charm with a quaint downtown area and a strong sense of community. The Paris community comes together for the highly anticipated World’s Biggest Fish Fry event, which is held every April, in addition to an array of year-round events held in Downtown Paris.
Paris offers a wide variety of affordable apartments available for rent along tree-lined streets. Residents enjoy the city’s peaceful atmosphere along with the comfort of a close-knit community. Paris provides plenty of opportunities for outdoor recreation at Paris Landing State Park on Kentucky Lake. Although residents love Paris’ small-town feel, the community also sits within a two-hour drive of Nashville, a popular choice for day trips and weekend getaways.
