Les meilleurs hôtels à Clarksville

Take the last train to Clarksville, as the Monkey's sang in the '60s, and pay a visit to this north Tennessee town located 45 miles north of Nashville and within a stone's throw of the Kentucky state line. Clarksville is a boater's paradise. Called the "Gateway to the Land Between the Lakes" -- a 170,000 national recreation area that includes Lakes Barkley and Kentucky -- Clarksville is also within driving distance of Lakes Cheatham, Old Hickory and Percy Priest. Bass, crappie and bream swim serenely in the cool waters and occasionally bite on the anglers' bait. Those "Home Sweet Home" needlepoint wallhangings come to mind. Families of servicemen posted at the 101st Airborne Division at nearby Fort Campbell, Kentucky, make their homes here -- a boon to the Clarksville housing market. Locals like to shoot the breeze about the daredevil speeds of NASCAR notable Jeff Purvis -- a native son. Clarksville is also the home of the annual Old Time Fiddlers Championship, a toe-tappin', hand-clappin' good time.
