There is never a lack of fun happenings in Paris. Our events range from the Spring Art Show to the Tour de Paris bicycle rally to the Annual Rodeo to the Red River Valley Fair to live theater productions to Holiday in Paris festivities. No matter your entertainment preference, you can find it in Paris set in a warm, inviting atmosphere. Outdoor activities abound in Paris, as well. Paris’ Pat Mayse Lake offers fabulous fishing, boating, skiing, picnicking and camping opportunities for endless family fun. And the Trail de Paris is a breath-taking 3 mile trail that winds a tree-canopied path through Paris.

Sites to see are also plentiful in Paris. The historic home of General Sam Bell Maxey is located in Paris’ Historic District and offers daily tours. Paris even has its own Eiffel Tower, standing 65 feet tall and Texanized with a red cowboy hat on top! The Lamar County Historical Museum is a cultural site you won’t want to miss. With something for everyone, you can be sure that when you are here, you can experience Paris without ever leaving Texas!
