Aubusson (French pronunciation: [obysɔ̃] ⓘ; Occitan auvergnat: Le Buçon, formerly Aubuçon) is a commune in the Creuse department region in central France.

Local lore previously held that the community was settled by defeated Berbers following the 8th-century Battle of Tours,[3] but it is now established that Aubusson has existed at least since the Gallo-Roman period.

[4] The Camp des Châtres, within the town's boundaries, for a long time considered a Roman fort, actually dates back a little further, to the Iron Age.

However, tapestry made something of a comeback during the 1930s, with artists such as Cocteau, Dufy, Dali, Braque, Calder and Picasso being invited to Aubusson to express themselves through the medium of wool.

Coventry cathedral's famous Christ in Glory tapestry, designed by artist Graham Sutherland, was woven in nearby Felletin.
