Most People Don't Know There's A Little Eiffel Tower Near Dallas - Fort Worth
It shouldn’t be all that surprising that the Dallas – Fort Worth area boasts of a miniature Eiffel Tower… Texas style, that is. Located on Interstate I-30 northeast of the Metroplex is a city by the name of Paris. The 65-foot replica is the city’s salute to the iconic real deal located in Paris, but this one sports a jaunty cowboy hat, of course!

This is the second Eiffel Tower for the city. The first was made of wood and destroyed by a tornado in 1982. This version was constructed in 1993.

The J.J. Culbertson Fountain took three years to construct, from 1924 to 1927. It was a gift to the city meant to commemorate the area's rebirth after much of it was destroyed by a fire in 1916.

Its beautiful salute to our nation's veterans is worthy of a visit to remember those lost.

Paris, Texas, is also known for a close-knit community, good Southern food, and a quaint downtown area. It’s definitely worth a daytrip!
