Tullins

Tourism, holidays & weekends guide in the Isère

Municipality of nearly 8,000 inhabitants, Tullins takes place in the Isere region Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, about thirty kilometers from Grenoble. Located thirteen kilometers from Voiron, it is in the heart of the Isère Valley.

The history of the city begins 3,500 years ago in the Bronze Age and continues in the Gallo-Roman era with occupation by the Allobroges. The development of crafts in the Middle Ages allows Tullins to see the appearance of weaving, sewing or paper production workshops. But it is in the nineteenth century that the town is gaining momentum with the arrival of the culture of the Grenoble AOC today.

Tullins enjoys, in addition to exceptional landscapes, an architectural and historical heritage of great interest to discover the time of a stay in the region.

Things to see and do

Once owned by the Chartreux de la Sylve Bénite expelled during the French Revolution, the Clos des Chartreux passed into the hands of a Lyon industrialist in the mid-nineteenth century. From then on, the building becomes a superb Palladian Italian style villa. Since 1976, it hosts the town hall of Tullins.

Partially classified as an historic monument, the castle of Saint-Jean de Chépy dates from the thirteenth and sixteenth centuries. Renovated in the 19th century, it reveals very beautiful facades and roofs inscribed with the Historical Monuments, as well as its internal staircase, as well as on the first floor murals representing the Zodiac.

While walking, do not miss to admire the castle of Boussinière, built in the seventeenth century, the Hôtel-Dieu of the fifteenth century, the manor of Cruzille, the castle of Pont-Pinet of the nineteenth century, the door Saint-Quentin from the 13th century, and the remains of the Fures gate.

Listed as a Historic Monument for its bell tower, the church of Saint-Laurent-des-Prés dates from the eleventh century and is worth the detour, as the priory Notre-Dame-de-Grâce. Partly listed building with historical monuments, it dates from the 17th century.

You can also enjoy the former convent of the Minimes, the site of the old Chartreuse of Parmenie, or the old town houses classified and dating from the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries.

It is also possible to discover the old industrial heritage of the town, like the silks Barlet, or the Art Deco facade of the former Lux paper mills.
