The cloister is accessed a small open-air staircase leading to a courtyard.
The cloister is reached by a small open-air staircase, leading to a courtyard in the middle of which stands an enormous green serpentine pool. Of the Romanesque cloister, which was on the same site, there is not much left. At most, a few capitals are preserved in the Dr. Fau Museum. To reach the wing in which the treasure is displayed, you have to go through a corridor lined with arcades, which was the former refectory of the Benedictine monks.

Même sans être spécialiste en orfèvrerie, on peut apprécier la beauté des pièces (une vingtaine) exposées. La visite est assez rapide dans la mesure où les reliquaires présentés tiennent dans une seule pièce. L'origine du trésor de Sainte-Foy est plutôt surprenante puisque celui-ci a été dérobé par les moines de Conques dans un monastère agenais en 806. Le cloître en avril est un endroit paisible et apaisant.
