“Standing 60 feet tall, the replica may be much smaller than the original in France”

Just outside Land Between the Lakes National Recreation Area, the town of Paris has fully embraced its name with its own version of the Eiffel Tower. Standing 60 feet tall, the replica may be much smaller than the original in France, but it has become one of the town’s most recognizable attractions and a popular roadside photo stop in West Tennessee.

Located in Eiffel Tower Park, the tower sits inside a public park with walking paths, green space, and a playground that makes it especially popular with families traveling through the area.

The tower was a fun stop during our visit, especially for the kids, who immediately wanted photos underneath it. Unfortunately, rain moved in before we had the chance to explore the nearby playground, but the park still made for a memorable stop while passing through the area.

The replica has become a symbol of Paris and is often included on Tennessee road trip routes, especially for travelers visiting Land Between the Lakes National Recreation Area. It is an easy stop that adds a little novelty to a day of exploring small towns and outdoor destinations in the region.
