So it’s 2004 and you’ve come to the realization that France is an effete country where people would rather sit around sipping wine and complain about things than actually get on with their lives. This was a sad realization because you really wanted to see the Eiffel Tower.

Well don’t fear, you don’t have to go to France to see the Eiffel tower, you can let the Eiffel tower come to you. Just ask the folks in Paris Texas. They have honored the city that they were named after by building a scale model of that famous edifice right in their own backyard.

Of course, the folks in Paris Texas realized that they really didn’t care too much for the French either, so recently they have Texanized the tower with a giant red cowboy hat. This is truly the finishing touch on a great tribute to a country that discovered democracy, only to hand it over to us for perfection.

This is only one of the great things in Paris Texas, the city also has many old buildings that have been meticulously preserved for your viewing pleasure. So don’t dawdle and head on down to Paris Texas…it’s just like France…only not at all. PAris Texas is actually a nice place to live.
