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.

Es un claustro muy bonito y permite ver muy cerca y bien uno de los rosetones de la catedral. Además hay una escalera de caracol monumental super bonita. Actualmente hay también una exposición de fotografía.

Lo que no alcanzo a entender es que haya unas sillas y vayan señoras a tomar el sol ????
Y 3.50€ me parece un poco caro simplemente por ver este espacio tan pequeño.

En tant que site historique, le Cloître de la Psalette offre une expérience culturelle riche pour nous, les visiteurs intéressés par l'architecture gothique, l'histoire religieuse et la période médiévale. L'une des caractéristiques les plus impressionnantes du cloître est son architecture, qui présente des éléments gothiques remarquables tels que des arcs en ogive, des sculptures détaillées et des colonnes élancées. Ces éléments architecturaux nous permettent de se plonger dans l'art et l'histoire de l'époque.

Adossé à la cathédrale Saint Gatien de Tours, ce cloître est une petite merveille: un escalier hélicoïdal splendide, une multitude de petits détails sculptés dans la pierre, avec un arc-boutant de la cathédrale qui enjambe le déambulatoire dont il ne reste malheureusement que deux côtés.
Entrée payante, mais l’endroit vaut bien les quelques euros demandés
Une visite incontournable pour tous ceux qui aiment les vieilles pierres.
