Price category: Moderate Target Market is Budget Traveller: no Target Market is Tourist/Resort: yes Target Market is Business Traveller: no Target Market is Luxury: no Noteworthy facilities/attractions: Paris is the seat of Lamar County, full of history, shopping and antiques, dining with a local flavor -- be sure to visit the Paris Bakery -- and unique sites. The Sam Bell Maxey Home offers tours, and visitors to Paris should see their Eiffel Tower, with its red cowboy hat, and the Babcock monument in Evergreen Cemetery: Is that Jesus or an angel with the heel of a cowboy boot showing? Paris burned in 1916, and they came roaring back in a hurry, with that fire defining much of their identity today. Justification for Recommendation: Hotels are fairly run of the mill, and while they have a few of them here, why not enjoy some of the local flavor? Your hosts, Debbie and Sherry, will provide you with the hospitality they offer in their literature. The rooms are cozy, breakfast is amazing -- come and get your coffee whenever you like -- and you can make this old Victoria-era home your base for exploring the wonderful city of Paris, TX. You'll really be smiling when they take your photo for their guest album. Address of the Establishment: 731 Clarksville St Paris, TX USA 75460 Web site of the establishment: [Web Link]
