The iconic Geneva movie theatre, the last adult cinema in Geneva, first opened in 1951 when it specialised in German-language films. From the seventies onwards it shifted to erotic films, and was renovated in 1988 to include a video booth. It was one of the last "salle X" in Geneva. Two classic rooms, a video library and booths for solitary and conventional pleasures. The projections of films with a naughty character was frequented by many bi, trav and gays, but also by couples.
