Hotels in Paris

Bourbon flows freely at Hartfield & Co., the first distillery to open in Kentucky since Prohibition ended. The historic downtown square feels like a movie set where locals actually live their daily lives. Horse farms dot the rolling bluegrass landscape, offering tours where thoroughbreds regard visitors with aristocratic indifference. The Cane Ridge Meeting House stands as a testament to frontier religion, its weathered logs holding two centuries of stories. Nearby Lexington beckons with the Kentucky Horse Park, where equine royalty prances for admirers. Garrard City Park provides peaceful respite after days spent touring bourbon distilleries. This small town delivers big Kentucky experiences without the crowds that flock to Louisville or Lexington.
