Queer Paris: What has become of the gay quarter of Paris?

Q is for Queer. In this episode, I'll give you an insight into Gay Paris. And by gay I mean LGBTQIA+.

Where is the gay quarter... or perhaps a better question.... what's happened to the gay quarter now that gentrifcation has hit the Marais? 

Also: What's a gay bookshop? What do they sell and to whom?
