About the Town

A riverside gem with a story in every stone

Paris, Ontario sits at the confluence of the Grand and Nith Rivers. Known as the "Crystal City" for its once-thriving glass industry, today it's a peaceful retreat where century-old limestone buildings line cobblestone streets, riverside trails invite quiet walks, and the food scene punches well above its weight.
