Paris, Tennessee: Henry County and the Eiffel Tower Replica on Kentucky Lake
Paris sits in Henry County in northwest Tennessee, about 100 miles west of Nashville and near the eastern shore of Kentucky Lake. The town was named in 1823 in honor of the Marquis de Lafayette's home country, following a naming pattern used by several early American towns. Population is around 10,000.
A 60-foot Eiffel Tower replica stands in Memorial Park off Volunteer Drive. The tower was built by engineering students at what is now the University of Tennessee at Martin in 1993, then moved to Paris and dedicated in its current park location. The structure's design is accurate to its French namesake and draws occasional tourists, particularly during the annual World's Biggest Fish Fry each April. The Fish Fry, held since 1954, celebrates the catfish catch from Kentucky Lake and includes a rodeo, carnival, and parade.
Paris Landing State Park lies about 16 miles northeast of town on Kentucky Lake, one of the two massive impoundments of the Tennessee River created by the Tennessee Valley Authority. The lake spans 160,000 acres across Tennessee and Kentucky and is a regional destination for fishing, particularly for crappie and largemouth bass. The park includes a lodge, golf course, and marina.
Henry County's economy combines manufacturing, agriculture, and tourism tied to the lake. Several automotive suppliers operate in Paris, and the farmland around the town produces soybeans, corn, and cattle. The county has seen gradual retirement-age migration from northern states drawn by lake access and lower cost of living.
