The palace of tauA large Gallo-Roman villa still occupied the site of the palace in the 6th and 7th centuries and later became a Carolingian palace. The first documented use of the name dates to 1131 and derives from the plan of the building which resembles the letter Τ (tau in the Greek alphabet). Most of the early building has disappeared: the oldest part remaining is the chapel from 1207.
