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.
Opportunities for boating and swimming.

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.
