A place where a short stroll, a single bite, or a quiet moment of reflection can magically transport you through space and in time.
Making you feel as if you’ve left the familiar, but at the same time, something about it feels so familiar. The warmth of a smile, a sincere “good morning,” and the sweet simplicity of a “hello.” The kinds of cherished Canadian customs that you miss when you travel abroad.
Because the truth is, there’s no place in Ontario (or even Canada) quite like Paris.
A little town nestled along the grandeur of a flowing river. A spot that’s both an aquatic playground and a tranquil retreat.
Where what was old is made new again and what’s new is elevated by its own rich history. Where you can feel like you’ve gone abroad without, well, going abroad.
Combining the simplicity of small-town living with the sophisticated ambiance of a European locale.
Just like the two rivers that converge in our authentically charming community, Paris’s distinctive character comes from contrast and connection.
Bound for elsewhere, those that come from away call it an escape. But the luckiest among us get to call this enchanted place home.
Downtown Paris. Pretty historic.
