The second seed, a quarter-finalist in Paris last year, will face Russia's Daria Kasatkina for a place in the last eight. Second seed Wozniacki had led 6-0, 5-0 before Parmentier saved a little pride with a late rally.
Thursday thrill for Serena

'Incredible'
"It's just incredible," said Williams. "I am so happy to be back here. I lost the first set and thought I must try harder, I must try harder and then Serena came out".
