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.

Avons voulu faire découvrir le cloître à des amis de passage. Après avoir pris soin de vérifier les jours et horaires en février, sommes arrivés un mercredi à
16 h 30. Guichet fermé alors que le panneau indique que l'entrée est possible jusqu'à 15 mns avant la fermeture. Dommage que les horaires ne soient pas respectés.

Lieu très reposant

Possiblement très beau ... Malheureusement, impossible de se fier aux horaires sur internet et affichés dans la cathédrale, à l'entrée du cloître ???? on nous a même confirmé lors de notre dernière tentative de visite que les horaires affichés étaient mensongers. Dommage

Très beau cloître, belle découverte imprévue avec une exposition de photos anciennes. En cours de réfection et c'est tant mieux car cette merveille doit continuer à raconter l'histoire de Tours

Un petit cloître. Il y a des travaux et le jardin est abîmé malheureusement.
