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.

Petite visite agréable
Le cloître de la Psalette offre une agréable petite visite qui permet de prolonger la visite de la cathédrale St Gatien. La visite est rapide mais vaut malgré tout le détour pour voir les vitraux et profiter d'une belle vue sur la cathédrale.

Très joli cloître
Il est assez petit la visite est rapide mais cela vaut la peine. Le jardin est très beau et le point de vue de la terrasse également.
A l'étage de belles pièces où les moines conservaient les livres (les livres n'y sont plus par contre !)
L'astuce pour trouver le cloître : entrer dans la cathédrale pour y accéder.

Une très belle découverte accolée à la cathédrale. Le cloître est petit mais charmant. De plus, il est Monument National, donc gratuit pour les 18-25, sinon l'entrée est un petit peu chère.

Le cloître de la psalette est accessible depuis la Cathédrale Saint-Gatien, il abrite de jolis vitraux et offre une vue inédite sur la cathédrale. On retrouve aussi de belles sculptures et gargouilles.
