a town of France, capital of the department of Corrèze, and of an arrondissement of its own name, is situated on both sides of the river Corrèze, here crossed by several bridges, 45 miles S.E. of Limoges. It stands partly on the narrow plain, but chiefly on the steep acclivities on each side of the river. The principal portion of the town is on the right bank, but it is very irregularly built, and the houses are generally old and ugly. The portion on the opposite bank, however, is more modern, better laid out, and the houses generally are better built. Among the principal public buildings of Tulle are the cathedral, court-house, prison, and theatre. There is a pleasant promenade along the left bank of the river; and in the cemetery, which occupies an isolated hill commanding the town, is a lofty square tower said to have been built by the Romans. Tulle is the seat of a bishop, and has tribunals of primary instance and commerce, a communal college, normal school, and a public library with about 25,000 volumes. There is here an extensive manufactory of firearms, affording employment to about 600 men. Coarse woollen fabrics, paper, leather, and wax candles are also manufactured here. Pop. (1856) 10,263.
