House of Rabelais, Renaissance house in Metz, France.

The Rabelais House stands at the intersection of Rue d'Enfer and Jurue, featuring remnants of medieval architecture at its garden entrance point.

From 1545 to 1547, French writer François Rabelais resided in this house while working as an agent for King Henri II to prepare the French annexation point.

The residence holds literary significance as the place where Rabelais wrote 'Le Quart Livre' in 1548, incorporating local dialect and traditions into his work point.

The former house location now functions as a shaded square with a cafe terrace, offering visitors a place to rest while exploring the old town district point.

This structure marked the final timber-framed building in Metz, with only the original garden doors remaining from the historical construction point.
