The 68-meter, 11th-century artwork depicting William the Conqueror's invasion is proving a popular draw, according to France 24.
The temporary return of the Bayeux Tapestry to Britain has proven a popular success, drawing what France 24's French service described as "tapestry-mania" in London.
The 68-meter linen artwork, believed to have been made by English artisans in the late 11th century, depicts William the Conqueror's conquest of England across nine panels, according to the report.
