The cloister is traditionally a place of wandering, in silence, around the courtyard. We used it to go from one wing to another but we could also recite our rosary there, read outside while walking sheltered from the rain. We see here the cloister overlooking the garden.

At the end of this cloister is, on the left, the statue of the Child Jesus dear to Thérèse, with its original pedestal. On the right, recent photo of the statue of the Virgin that she was one day surprised to kiss. She is directly in front of the Child Jesus.
