Paris (Arkansas)

In line with the town's namesake of Paris, France, a replica of the Eiffel Tower stands here in the downtown sector, though definitely not as tall as the real thing or even the replica in Paris, Tennessee.

Here is a local museum that is distinctive in being located in the city's jail and even more so that it has the town's former gallows on display.

Opportunities for boating and swimming.

This highway, AR 309, is a nice Ouachita driving sampler, extending from Paris to Havana (the Arkansas municipalities, not the world capitals, mind you!).

Here feel the liberation as you ascend to Arkansas' highest point at 2753 feet, or try one of a number of hiking or biking trails or maybe even hang glide. Also be on the lookout for fauna such as bobcat, black bear, or Diana fritillary, the state butterfly.
