We stayed on in Tulle throught the Monday, after the accordeon festival was over, and did a little sightseeing. In the morning we went to the fine, restored chateau de Sedières. It's in beautiful grounds featuring lakes and waterfalls, and you can walk around it following several routes. It's a venue in Summer for various artistic events, including an art exhibition while we were there.
The GPS showed us its sense of humour on the way there, sending us down various donkey tracks, but we eventually found and followed the road signs and got there in one piece.
In the afternoon we trolled off to Brive-la-Gaillarde where we visited the old town, paused for coffee and bought some locally-produced alcoholic beverages in the tourist office. You can climb the tower that forms part of the tourist office. It is wholly occupied by a spiral staircase that leads to the balcony on the top where you can get a good view of the town. A helpful sign there indicates that the exit in case of fire is back down the stairs.
