Biarritz residents react after a French court ruled that the seaside city must rename its La Negresse historic neighbourhood, possibly named after a black woman, following a case brought by activists who argued it was an outdated legacy of colonialism. The ruling caps a long-running attempt by activists to force authorities to drop what they say are "racist and sexist" place names. La Negresse is the feminine version of the French word for negro (negre), translating into English as "negro woman" or "negress." IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
