François-Gabriel "Valcour" Aime (1797–1867) was an American sugar planter, enslaver 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.)
