A Little Paris in Tennessee

By Linda Tancs

If you’re looking for a little Parisian flair without the air fare, then maybe you should head to Paris, Tennessee. West of Nashville, the city was named after its French counterpart in honor of the general Marquis de Lafayette. And what would a namesake city be without one of the most iconic landmarks in its midst? At Eiffel Tower Park, you’ll find a 70-foot steel replica of the Eiffel Tower. Just across the street from the park is Eiffel Tower Extended, where a stocked pond is open to anyone with a valid fishing license and trout stamp. The pond is stocked with a total of 1,000 trout fish biannually, in December and January.
