Paris, named in honor of the French aid received during the American Revolution, was an antebellum trading center for the surrounding plantations. Today the town accommodates dozens of industrial plants and medical facilities. Two edifices are of note: The first is the 60-foot replica of its namesake's most recognizable structure, the Eiffel Tower, at the entrance to Memorial Park; the tower is lighted most nights. The second is the 1896 Courthouse, the second oldest working courthouse in the state.
