L'Histoire
From the polo field
to the pâtisserie
La Parisienne was opened by a group of French friends — among them a polo player who moved his entire polo operation to Aiken and fell for the town on the way. The walls carry his history: polo, and a former life in motor racing. The kitchen carries theirs — everything fresh, on the fly, straight from home.
“I really love the town. I really love it.”
David Meunier · founder, as told to WFXG
