I posted this in the themes thread but I think it's more relevant here.

Here is the site in question :
http://www.coffrets-luxe.com/
I created a taxonomy with product types (listed in the menu). For now only Golf has a product.
Taxonomy : univers
+ chateaux
+ golf
+ restaurants
Calling up http://www.coffrets-luxe.com/univers/golf shows mytaxonomy-univers.php template with the golf related products. Great.
I'd like it so that when I call up http://www.coffrets-luxe.com/univers/ I'd like it to query so that WP returns an object that essentially contains the different terms (chateaux, golf, restaurants) so I can have a page with entrance points to the different product lists. Basically a page listing the different terms in univers. Right now, calling up that URL gives me a 404 since WP thinks it's looking for the post category "univers" which does not exist.
Here is what is displayed in my debug info
WP_query
+ query_vars
+-- category_name = universWP
+ query_vars
+-- category_name = univers
+ query_string
+-- category_name = univers
+ request = univers
+ matched_rule = (.+?)/?$
+ matched_query
+-- category_name = univers
+ did_permalink = TRUE
