A sign "Au Negre Joyeux" (The Happy Negro) is seen above a former chocolate factory in Paris
A sign "Au Negre Joyeux" (The Happy Negro), with a painting splattered with purple paint that depicts a black servant alongside a white woman from high society, is seen above a former chocolate factory, founded in the 18th century, on Rue Mouffetard in Paris, France, October 25, 2017. The Paris council decided to remove the sign after the Communists in the council branded the facade an "insulting and offensive presence" and to move it to the Carnavalet museum dedicated to the history of Paris.
