Tulle, capital of the French dept. of Corrèze, at the confluence of the Solane and the Corrèze, 61 miles by rail ENE. of Périgueux. Its 12th-century cathedral was partly demolished in 1793; the principal industry now is the manufacture of small-arms. Pop. (1872) 11,848; (1891) 15,384.
TULLE, named from this place, is no longer made here. It is a kind of thin silk network fabric of a very open structure, used for the trimmings of ladies' dresses, and also for caps and veils. Of late years other light fabrics, especially silks of a different make, have largely taken its place for parts of dresses.
