A French court has ordered Paris's most famous cabaret, the Moulin Rouge, to pay a fine of 10,000 Euro (10,000 dollars) for racial discrimination, after it refused to hire a black African as a waiter.
The court also imposed a 3,000-euro fine on an employee who told the Senegalese-born applicant, Abdoulaye Marega, that the Moulin Rouge employed blacks only the kitchen. The Moulin Rouge - home of the French Can Can dancers - and its exotic shows featuring topless dancers attract busloads of tourists every week.
Mr Marega, 22, responded to an advertisement for a waiter in 2000, and passed the telephone vetting procedure but ran into trouble when the question of his nationality arose.
At that point, one Moulin Rouge manager, Micheline Beuzit, reportedly told him the cabaret did "not recruit people of colour for the dining room but possibly in the kitchen".
After the verdict was announced, Mr Marega said it showed that France was "a country of human rights, not a racist country".
Secret recording
The French anti-discrimination group SOS Racism took up the case and investigated it in 2001.
After sending another black waiter to apply for the job and seeing his application turned down as well, the group and Mr Marega brought the matter to court, backed up by footage shot with a hidden camera.
Officials later found that whilst all-white staff worked in the Moulin Rouge's dining room, all of the employees in the kitchen were black.
Mr Marega was awarded 4,500 Euro in damages and SOS-Racism received a further 2,300 Euro.
