Шаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Infobox French commune Felletin (Шаблон:IPA-fr; Шаблон:Lang-oc) is a commune in the Creuse department in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region in central France.
Historically, the term Aubusson tapestry often covers the similar products made in the nearby town of Felletin, 8 kilometres away, whose products are often treated as "Aubusson". The industry had probably developed since soon after 1300 in looms in family workshops,[1] perhaps already run by the Flemings that are noted in documents from the 16th century.
