The cloister was built around 1515. It comes from the convent of Carmes established by a foundation of Jean Pelourde, in 1374, on the place du Noher (present-day place Cujas). It was transferred to the former convent of the Clarisses (today private college and secondary school Sainte-Marie-Saint-Dominique) in 1861. The church of the Carmes was demolished in 1878.
