Tennessee is filled with stunning small towns across the state, destinations that offer a quiet beauty by letting the natural scenery, friendly atmosphere and unique attractions shine bright enough to draw you in and experience something you may not get in a bigger, bustling city.
According to a list compiled by AFAR, the "most charming small town" in all of Tennessee is Paris, praised for its assortment of catfish buffets and "pastries with a purpose."
Here's what the site had to say about the most charming small town in the state:
"Paris, Tennessee's biggest claim to fame isn't its 70-foot replica of the Eiffel Tower. It's the fact that the town of 10,000, two hours west of Nashville, is home to the world's biggest fish fry — an all-you-can-eat affair usually scheduled for the last week in April. Late March through May, meanwhile, is crappie and bass season at Paris Landing State Park, where visitors can also swim, golf, hike, or ogle the coots and cormorants flanking its paved picnic loop."
