Staff are happy to help customers learn sign-language basics

Anyone still unable to order can always point or write it down, but most customers seem to enjoy the challenge, and the waiting staff are happy to teach anyone who wants to learn.

Valerie has worked at the cafe since it opened earlier this month.

She is profoundly deaf, but uses a mixture of lip-reading and sign language to take customers' orders.

She says she is enjoying the job, and that most people who come do try to express themselves in sign language even if they are not deaf. :D
 
Wow, that's great. Shows support for sign language deafies! Ahhh, is it in France? Wow, I'm impressed. :)

Oui totally RME, where did you think Paris was in? USA?
Paris, for you who do not know, is the capital city of France.

I for one thing support having these types of cafes! I want to see one or many of you set up one all over USA! :o
 
I know there are Parises in USA, but in the BBC article that Sabrina provided us, it clearly says:

Once you sit down, and are handed a menu, all is explained. This is France's first bistro where the deaf and the hearing can interact on an equal basis.

See, it says France.
