Paris

The confluence of the Grand and Nith rivers defines the setting of Paris — their wooded banks and meeting waters give this Ontario community a distinctly river-centred character. Known as Canada’s Cobblestone Capital, Paris preserves an exceptional concentration of 19th-century buildings faced with locally gathered rounded stone, including the Paris Presbyterian Church. The town grew around mills powered by the Grand River, and its historic commercial streets still recall that industrial beginning. Paris lies in the County of Brant, southwest of Hamilton, where riverside paths connect built heritage with the surrounding valley.
