Located only 100 miles from the metro-plex, there is always something fun happening in Paris. Our events range from the Spring Fine Art Show , Tour de Paris bicycle rally, the Annual Rodeo, the Red River Valley Fair, live theater productions, Festivals of Pumpkins, to Holiday in Paris festivities. Pat Mayse Lake offers fabulous fishing, boating, skiing, picnicking and camping opportunities for endless family fun. Three beautiful Golf courses are available to make that perfect score, and the Trail de Paris is a breath-taking 5.94 mile trail that winds a tree-canopied path through Paris to Reno, with future plans to make this 137 miles long!

Sites to see are also plentiful in Paris. The historic home of General Sam Bell Maxey built in 1868 is open for tours daily, and our Trolley Tours take you “back in time” to experience our rich heritage with delightful tour guides! The Lamar County HIstorical Society Museum is a must see with separate rooms filled with treasures from “yesteryear”. Church Tours and Home Tours available as well. You can be sure that when you are here, you can experience Paris without leaving Texas!
