Door opening by two leaves under a wrought-iron overlight, struck with the arms of the chapter of the Church of Tours, at the centre of an architecture in half-moon flanked by pilasters and engaged columns. The curved pediment mounted on the moulded frame of the overlight is decorated with a cartouche accompanied by garlands of leaves and fruits. This door gives access to the courtyard of a 17th-century canonry house.
