François-Gabriel "Valcour" Aime (1797–1867) was a slave owner, sugar planter, philanthropist, and pioneer in the large-scale refining of sugar. Known as the "Louis XIV of Louisiana," he was reputedly the wealthiest person in the South. Aime owned a plantation in Vacherie, Louisiana, called the St. James Refinery Plantation, but it became known as Le Petit Versailles due to its opulence. (The plantation mansion burned down in 1920.)

  • Valcour Aimé (1798-1867), de son vrai nom François-Gabriel Aimé, était un planteur de sucre et philanthrope de la paroisse Saint-James, premier raffineur de sucre à grande échelle de l'histoire de la Louisiane et propriétaire de la plus grande plantation du territoire, appelée « Le Petit Versailles de la Louisiane ». Son beau-frère Jacques Telesphore Roman, frère du gouverneur, a fondé en 1837 l'autre grande plantation de la paroisse, Oak Alley Plantation. En 1844, la paroisse Saint-James comptait 21 plantations sur l'une des rives du Mississippi et 39 sur l'autre. (fr)
