Tulle Attractions 
Tulle (pop. 16,906), the industrial capital of the Lower Limousin (Bas-Limousin), chief town of the département of Corrèze and the see of a bishop since 1317, lies in the narrow valley of the Corrèze.
Its main attractions are its many handsome Renaissance houses and the Cathedral of Notre-Dame (12th-14th C.), a former abbey church, the choir and transepts of which were destroyed in 1793. The 75 m/245ft high tower dates from the 14th C. On the south side of the church is a small cloister, now housing a museum.
This month-long festival runs from mid-July to mid-August.
A pleasant excursion from Tulle leads northeast up the valley of the Corrèze by way of the village of Gimel. Near the village, in the Parc Vuillier de Montane, are the magnificent Gimel Falls, which plunge down 143 m/ 470ft in three stages. The return route is via Naves, which has a church with a large 17th C. carved altar.
