Monuments to visit Limousin

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.

This hall has a pillar structure. It houses the standard oven, the centre of social life for centuries and which always works during the holidays. In particular, it is used during the annual bread festival on the first Sunday in August.

Until the th century, the city extended its fortifications, a variety of ramparts called ditches. The enclosure would have been a six-door breakthrough. Only the gates of Saint John and Puycharraud were spared. You can follow the route of the th century bastion, Place-Mautondon square, which extends to the tower of the Vineyard by taking the direction of the Rue du Four, which takes the name of a door. The Saint John door is to visit all year round (key to the Market bar). The town testifies to an architecture of houses dating back to the th century, such as that of Joachim du Chalard, the Bailiff, the Book, the Echauguette, Rogues de Fursac or the Seneschal.

The underground lantern of the dead and an alleged menhir of La Jéraphie, a medieval point.
