%X Interrogeant le r le des populations homosexuelles dans la gentrification d¡¯un ancien quartier historique de Paris (celui du Marais), cet article aborde cette question dans sa dimension commerciale. Depuis le d¨¦but des ann¨¦es 80, l¡¯implantation de commerces gays dans ce secteur a accompagn¨¦ les effets de la gentrification et les a m¨ºme acc¨¦l¨¦r¨¦s pour partie depuis les ann¨¦es 90. Aujourd¡¯hui cependant, la relation entre cette pr¨¦sence commerciale sp¨¦cifique et les transformations socio-¨¦conomiques de ce quartier parisien apparaissent nettement plus ambigus. In this paper, we examinate the role of gay men towards gentrification and urban renaissance by focusing on gay business development in ¡°Le Marais¡±. We demonstrate that, in this old neighbourhood of the city-center, the emergence of a gay commercial area has supported gentrification during the eighties and then contributed to the urban, economical and cultural renaissance. The historical link between gentrification and ¡°gay spaces¡± has changed and became since a few years more and more diversified.
