There is no Paris equivalent. The joke author couldn't even go there.

Paris = Mansfield. Which all Parisienne should find as highly offensive

There is a lake (Summersville) in west virgina with water so clear they call themselves the little Bahamas of the east. Despite being northwest of the actual Bahamas.

There’s a Virginia to the north of Virginia that calls itself West Virginia despite being to the north.

Lake sounds awesome but imma bring a compass.
