Introduction
This building, known as the Chapelle Saint-Genest, was originally a Gothic mansion built in the 12th century. At the corner of rue d'Enfer and rue de la Jurue stood the neighboring house, known in Messinian tradition as the home of Rabelais during his stay in Metz from 1542 to 1547. All that remains today is a door and a window set against the wall at the end of the small garden.
