    3317 Paris (1984 KF) is a Jupiter trojan. It was discovered on 26 May 1984 by husband and wife team Carolyn and Eugene Shoemaker at Palomar. It was named not after the French capital, but for Paris, son of Priam of Troy.

    Photometric observations of 3317 Paris during 1998 were used to build a light curve, which indicates a rotation period of 7.082 ± 0.004 hours with a brightness variation of 0.10 ± 0.01 magnitude.[2]
