Mansions and private mansions to visit France

Private house, no possible visits if only to enjoy it from the of the cathedral.

Formerly of the Abbot, it was built in the XVeme-prague centuries, it is the nicest house of Tulle, it was described by Prosper Mérimée in 1838. She combines the flamboyant Gothic style with Renaissance decorations. Its facade, with its two turrets, is decorated with beautiful motifs: fantastic animals, grape leaves and characters with grivoises or grotesque postures, near windows. Until the th century, the house was lined with many other buildings that went up to the cathedral. They were destroyed around 1860 to find the approaches. Since November 2006 and the restoration of Gambetta Square, thanks to the work of goldsmith carried out by craftsmen, especially by the Italian stone installers, the house of Loyac radiates as on the first day.

The Military Costume Museum is located in the outbuildings of the splendid manor house of Sainte-Mesme, privately owned by the General and Countess Louis de Lambilly. The manor itself deserves a detour: with its octagonal tower, its vis staircase, its colombages, its French ceilings and its exterior decoration, it is one of the few models of civil architecture of the th century in Île-de-France. The museum's visit, the interior of which has been completely restored, allows to discover 90 nature-sized models with French, British, American and German military attire, thus presenting more than two centuries of history, from 1870 to the present. The collection was based on family memories and donations from visitors. We also discover ceramic objects, ex-voto of Gallo-Roman times (dedicated to the goddess of Silgina waters) and other prehistoric silex updated during sanitation, and then excavations on the site.
