The Saint Genès neighborhood is a quiet, family-friendly area centered around:
1 - Saint Nicolas de Grave Church, which for a long time remained a humble chapel serving as a 2,150-square-foot hospice dedicated to caring for lepers; it became a church after two bells were installed (in 1805 and then 1809).
2 - The Jardin des Dames de la Foi, planted with hackberry trees and old holm oaks, is located on a former private estate surrounded by an 8,000 m² park. Today, it is a delightful place to stroll!
This is a neighborhood of large family homes where prominent figures, particularly doctors and surgeons, liked to settle... close to the Pellegrin and Charles Perrens hospitals. Today, the schools also contribute to the reputation of a neighborhood that is reinventing itself perfectly.
