Tulle

Tulle, the préfecture (main administrative centre) of the Corrèze, has an attractive, unspoilt atmosphere. Its main attraction is the medieval quarter of the Enclos, a maze of narrow streets and staircases that wind between tall houses adorned with wooden balconies. Near the cathedral, the Maison Loyac is an architectural masterpiece dating from the 16C. Tulle is famous for its lace and is also the capital of the accordion, which is celebrated every year at the Festival des Nuits de Nacre.
