This great ramshackle edifice is partly Gothic but mostly Dog's Breakfast – the medieval builders made a hash of things on a sublime scale. They half-built one church, abandoned it, started building another, abandoned that, while other sections were added and added instead of starting over with a clear site. The Archbishop of Toulouse has to come to work in this Frankencathedral.

Fine arts museum set in a former Augustinian monastery surrounding two delightful cloisters.
Museum of fine and decorative arts from the Middle Ages to 1939. Dupuy (1867–1944) was an art collector whose wealth came from pickled gherkins.
Museum of the history of the city.
Great mansion house built in the 16th century in Renaissance style for a rich merchant. It now houses the personal art collection of Georges Bemberg (1915–2011).
Magnificent red-brick building in Neoclassical style, lording it over the pedestrianised main plaza. It houses City Hall (with a grandiose "Salle des Illustres") and the city's main theatre. They no longer do guided tours but you can see much of it free.
You'll think you're walking into a monastery: the gardens were part of an old Carmelite friary before expanding south.
