We report the observation of T Tau by visible speckle interferometry at the CFHT. The observations were carried out at two wavelengths simultaneously. Each image was split into two, allowing improved data processing. The 4-channel photon-counting detector CP40 was used. We have discovered that 30% of the total energy at Hα is emitted by an extended elliptical component, with a FWHM of 70 marcsec. In the neighbouring continuum, T Tau is not resolved by the 3.60 m CFHT. We briefly discuss the astrophysical consequences of this new result.
