Paris is located in the heart of the Kentucky’s lovely Bluegrass region about 17 miles from Lexington.

The main connecting road between Paris and Lexington is the beautiful Paris Pike (KY 68/27) which was recently transformed into a four-lane road.

The four-lane project was sensitive to the beauty and historic significance of the road and has won national awards and regional and local acclaim.

Paris continues to be known for three things – horses, history and hospitality.

Bourbon County was one of nine counties that made up Kentucky when it became a state in 1792.

The city is named for Paris, France and the county is named for the French Bourbon family, who assisted the fledgling Americans in their split from England.
