AREA INFORMATION
Discover Parys: A Town with a Story and a Stunning Setting Charming and rich in history, Parys is said to have been named after the French capital Paris—thanks to German surveyor Schilbach, who had served in the Siege of Paris during the Franco-Prussian War. The location along the Vaal River reminded him of Paris on the Seine. The name was translated into Afrikaans as “Parys.” The town is home to two townships, Tumahole and Schonkenville, each contributing to the town’s unique cultural fabric. What truly sets Parys apart, however, is its location within the Vredefort Dome, the oldest and largest meteorite impact site on Earth—a UNESCO World Heritage Site and geological wonder that draws visitors from around the world. Whether you're here for fun, adventure, or relaxation, you've picked the perfect place. Everything from markets and outdoor activities to restaurants and natural beauty can be found within a convenient 500-meter to 12-kilometre radius.
