Paris was named the world’s most attractive tourism destination for both 2021 and 2022 in a Euromonitor report. No doubt, it’s a well-loved, highly sought-after city for travelers. We’ve got some fun spots in our state for those who often long for Paris but may not wish to or may not be able to make the trip, including a themed bed and breakfast and a French-themed brunch spot in South Carolina that will make you feel as though you are right there!
La Parisienne French Restaurant and Bakery is tucked away on Chesterfield Street South, which is off the main highway that travels through the city of Aiken.
As you walk in, you immediately notice elements of the French theme, with French translations of various simple, commonly used phrases.
And then, of course, there's a miniature model of the beloved, iconic Eiffel Tower landmark!
But it's the macarons that are like the icing on the cake in this experience. These delicate, colorful, pillowy French treasures take you right back to Paris the moment you bite into them!
They are amazing, some of the best you can find state-side, and you'll have an extensive selection of flavors to choose from.
You can even get one with your latte, if you wish!
Now, aside from the other goods you'd expect to find at a bakery, there may also be some delicious chef specials, such as cream cheese stuffed french toast with bacon. Yes, please!
If you're here at lunchtime, there are salads, sandwiches, quiches, and more to choose from.
The onion soup gratinée is perfect to warm you up on a cooler day.
Since Paris is known as one of the world's most romantic cities, you've got to have a romantic dining space to fully complete the experience and feel. It would be a special place for a date!
It's also a great spot for a lunch or morning meeting, complete with coffee and pastries, of course.
