PARIS, ON

If you are ready to escape the hustle and bustle of suburbia and big city life, then you should really consider Paris, ON, as your next new home.

With the magnificent Grand River as its backdrop, downtown offers lots of shopping and dining experiences with all its candy and cheese shops, bakeries, cafes, pubs, and specialty shops and boutiques.

A handful of local notable establishments that are raved about among residents and visitors alike include John M. Hall, Piper & Oak, Suzanne’s of Paris, Chocolate Sensations, Stillwaters Plate & Pour Restaurant, and Juniper Dining Co. – and the list could go on. Then there is the Paris Wincey Mills Co. market, which is always a perfect spot to buy local produce, meats, seafood, cheeses, vintage items, art, clothing, and handmade crafts.

With a population of just over 12,000, the town is both quaint and beautiful. The architecture is totally astonishing with its scores of Victorian, Edwardian, Gothic, and Post-Modern style buildings that are checkered throughout the downtown core and across the entire community. The town also has lots of cobblestone churches and homes. In fact, this is why many have long nicknamed Paris as “The Cobblestone Capital of Canada.”

The new development going on in Paris is also exciting news. There are a number of new builds happening and more are being planned too.

Over 40 percent of the community is green space and woodland protected and will be accessible to homeowners and members of the community. It’s here where water sports, fishing, cycling, kayaking will be right at your doorstep.

The community is minutes away from the Brantford GO Station and is only a one-hour drive from the Toronto Pearson International Airport. As well, cities like Hamilton, Cambridge, Burlington and Kitchener-Waterloo.
