Cloister with courtyard lined with galleries, testifying to the transition between Gothic and Renaissance, place of concerts and shows.

The cloister of the Psalette is visible from the street, and accessible from inside Saint-Gatien's Cathedral. It was built between 1442 and 1525, when it housed canons working on illuminated manuscripts. Its courtyard, bordered by galleries, bears witness to the transition between the Gothic and Renaissance periods. The remarkable spiral staircase will lead you to the scriptorium and the chapter bookshop, where the stained glass windows are remarkable. This splendid architecture is featured in Balzac's Curé de Tours. Concerts and shows are organised there.

Le cloître était malheureusement en travaux quand nous y sommes passés, les échafaudages dénaturent un peu les lieux mais nécessaire afin de garder le cloître en bon état...
Vous aurez sûrement plus de chance.

Beau cloître avec un très bel escalier à vis extérieur qui permet d'accéder à une galerie et à une très belle salle où les clés de voûte sont très travaillées. Attention, il y a actuellement des travaux donc tout le cloître n'est pas visible et accessible.

Hôtesse d'accueil désagréable, peu compréhensive et irrespectueuse.

Personnel pas très aimable à la billetterie car nous avions des entrées gratuites... C'est joli mais ça se visite très rapidement.
