Paul Harvey once said Paris, Texas, is a city "where tomorrow fell in love with yesterday, and side by side, they lived happily ever after." It won't take you long to know what Mr. Harvey meant by these poetic words. Paris is an ideal place to raise a family, with low cost of living and many opportunities for recreation, entertainment, cultural experiences and more. As the retail and healthcare hub for an 11-county region, Paris provides all the conveniences of a big city with the warmth and charm of a small town.
