Detail of stained glass window in Cloitre de La Psalette, Cathedral of Saint Gatien, in Tours, France.

This cloister was built from 1442 to 1524 – that's why it's partly Flamboyant Gothic and party Renaissance. It is located on the north side of the Cathédrale St-Gatien. It once served as a scriptorium (for the copying of manuscripts) and a school of Gregorian chanting.
