The Palais du Tau is the old archbishop's palace next to the cathedral, restored after a bad burning in WW I. It contains an interesting collection of stone sculpture which used to be in or on the cathedral, as well as some tapestries. And if you are a train spotter, the lower floors are full of model trains.
