Looking for a quick and interesting road trip from Toronto, Hamilton or London? Check out how Tony & Petula Fera of Let’s Discover ON travel blog spent 48 hours in Brantford and Paris. 

Slow down, explore and dig a little deeper into the interesting history of Brantford and Paris. While Canadian’s are proud of the fact that Alexander Graham Bell invented the telephone in Brantford, not many people know why. And, do you know how ‘Paris, Ontario’ got its name? Hint, it has nothing to do with Paris, France and everything to do with a common construction material. Find out the answers to these questions and learn the best ways to spend a weekend in this charming part of Ontario.
