Yes they did. They actually kept slaves 17 years or so after the emancipation proclamation was signed by President Lincoln. They had slaves longer than the U.S and Britain.
I must correct this answer a bit. While yes, France, along with Britain, Denmark, The Netherlands, Spain/Portugal and many others had slaves, France and the French west indies ended slavery about 14 years prior to Lincoln signing the Emancipation Proclamation. They were under pressure from slave uprising and the other European countries. French did, however, transport and enslave about 4 times as many africans as Britain/America did.
In France during the 1700s to the early 1800s, the primary currency was the livre, which was subdivided into sous and deniers. The livre underwent various changes and was ultimately replaced by the franc in 1795 after the French Revolution. The franc continued to be used throughout the 1800s, evolving into the modern currency system in France.
During the 1800s, imperialist countries were: Great Britain, France, Belgium, Germany, Italy, Holland, Spain, Portugal and Russia.

Yes, there were black slaves in France, particularly during the period of colonial expansion and the transatlantic slave trade. Slavery was legal in French colonies, such as in the Caribbean, where many black slaves were brought to work on plantations. Additionally, there were some instances of black slaves in mainland France as well.
