La pâté de maisons compris entre la cathédral, les rues du Cloître, du Trésor et Carnot étaient réservées aux chanoines. Cet enclose comprenait le cloître, les bâtiments nécessaires a la vie committee, les écoles et toutes les dépendances utiles à l'administration de leurs domains et à l'exercice de leur jurisdiction seigneuriale sur une partie de la ville (granges, celliers, tribunal et prison). Il y avait également des boutiques, en particulier des merciers et des libraires imprimeurs. Ouvert aux passants dans la journée, le quartier était clos le soir comme en témoigne cette porte édifiée en 1531. Ses vantaux de bois sculpté sont désormais dans les reserves du Musée des Beaux-Arts.
