The missing scene of the Bayeux tapestry currently being woven in Aubusson

This initiative is part of a large‑scale project launched by the Normandy Region, in partnership with the national institutions Sèvres & Mobilier national. It aims to create a 25‑m² tapestry depicting the coronation of William the Conqueror at Westminster Abbey on 25 December 1066 — a scene absent from the original artwork.

The cartoon for this new scene was created by the artist Hélène Delprat. The weaving has been entrusted to the Atelier Tapisserie Guillot in Aubusson, a family workshop founded in 2001 by Patrick Guillot, a lissier specialised in basse‑lisse weaving, who now works alongside his wife Marie and their son Luc, a 2024 graduate in Métiers d’art.

The Atelier Tapisserie Guillot has distinguished itself through several major works, including Peau de Licorne by Nicolas Buffe and Ashitaka soulage sa blessure démoniaque, the first woven artwork in the series dedicated to the universe of Hayao Miyazaki.

The finished tapestry will be exhibited at the Château de Falaise, birthplace of William the Conqueror, and will be unveiled in 2027.
