Aubusson

Aubusson is a small village lost in the middle of France, in the region of the Creuse. Established from the C11th century and today has about 4000 inhabitants. As I say, it's a small town, but when I visited it seemed very lively for its region. These regions, especially in central France, are becoming depopulated as many young people go to the cities for work, but lately, due to interest in the area among foreigners (mostly British), it remains alive, especially in summer. Aubusson is famous for its textiles, hosting a large textile industry during the last five centuries. It has provided royalty with large rugs and tablecloths, made with premium fabrics.
