Lestime is Geneva's lesbian, lesboqueer and feminist association, based in the Grottes district behind the station. It is a non-mixed space, open to women, cis and trans, and to lesbian, bi and lesboqueer people, and it says so plainly rather than leaving visitors to guess.
The premises hold a documentation centre with more than a thousand books and a couple of hundred DVDs on lesbian and queer subjects, feminism, gender and sexuality. It is one of very few collections of its kind in Switzerland. Borrowing needs membership; reading on site does not. There is also a bar.
Alongside that run a legal service, health work, a film club, shared meals, sport and leisure groups, and the campaigning the association is better known for locally.
