This red lozenge shaped sign was fixed on each tobacco shop in France. This was required since 1906.
In fact, the term ‘carrot’ reminds of distant times, in the 16th century, where the merchant received the tobacco in the form of long dried and twisted leaves. He tied them up in the shape of carrots so he could grate or grind them according to the desires of tobacco snuff users.
