Tulle Towns & Villages in Tulle

Tulle is a city with labyrinthine medieval streets, in which it is good to get lost, especially in summer to enjoy their coolness! It is the prefecture of Corrèze and it is also called "The city of 7 hills", due to its topography. It goes up, it goes down and you go through many stairs like in Rome! A walk in Tulle is pleasant, one will discover several elements of beautiful architecture, houses, balconies and old doors, such as the Porte des Mazeaux (one of the gates of honor at the entrance to the city), the Hotel Lauthonie with its two turrets (it is an extension of the old ramparts), or the Loyac House from the 16th century.
