About Paris

Serving as the county seat of Monroe County, Paris offers quiet, small-town living in northeastern Missouri. The Middle Fork of the Salt River flows along the north edge of town toward Mark Twain Lake, making weekend fishing, boating, and camping easy to reach. Daily life centers around the historic courthouse square, local public schools, and the community library. With U.S. Route 24 skirting the edge of town, residents enjoy a peaceful rural pace with straightforward drives to larger neighboring communities like Moberly and Monroe City.
