Paris red-light district closing down

PARIS, FRANCE - DECEMBER 20: The former hostess bar F'exhib is under renovation to reopen its doors on January 2014 as the Lipstick bar, a hipster bar without hostesses nor sexual favors on sale. The future Lipstick bar will have sexually explicit scenes as decoration, but they have been carefully air brushed to avoid showing blowjobs or penetration, in Pigalle, Paris red light district, France, on December 20, 2013. Booming property prices are killing off Paris' notorious red-light district of Pigalle as the area morphs into a sanitised but fashionable hangout. The hostess bars of Pigalle are mostly closing down and giving way to chic nightclubs and organic supermarkets. (Photo by Lucas Schifres/Getty Images)
