Paris, Texas is located 98 miles (158 kilometres) NE of the Dallas–Fort Worth Metroplex in Lamar County, Texas, USA.  The community has no factual knowledge of who named the town, but it’s assumed it was named after its French counterpart.  Their 70-foot Paris Eiffel Tower has a red cowboy hat at its summit (to make it taller than its rivals).  photo source: file from Paris_Texas_Eiffel via wikipedia
