Paris, formerly called “Forks of the Grand,” is now known as “the prettiest town in Canada.” The historic cobblestone buildings throughout downtown Paris are host to a varied mix of shops, restaurants, and entertainment that attracts thousands of visitors each year. Hidden amongst the town is Barker’s Bush, a historic network of walking and biking trails in the rare Carolinian forest accessible through Lion’s Park. Overlooking the Grand River, Paris is fitting for those with a passion for nature and a lively community.
