Things to Do in Paris Texas

Things to do in Paris Texas are really dependent upon what activities you are interested in to begin with.  Are you an outdoors person? Do you like to shop?  Are you a “foodie”, or maybe you have a hankering for the theater?  Are festivals your thing?  Do you like to study history?  Truly there are so many things to do in Paris Texas that it is almost more advantageous to talk about what you can’t do while you’re staying here.  Paris goes against the Texas motto: everything’s bigger in Texas!  We have everything a larger city has, just in a smaller package.  So, while you aren’t apt to see a full-scale production of Broadway’s The Lion King you could find yourself on the front row of a Tennessee Williams play.
