Des vidéos sur le langage des signes qui cartonnent

#SÈTE In the form of thematic videos, Tracy Izoird from Sète shares the basics for learning French Sign Language (LSF) on the social network Snapchat. Her account, called La Famille Signes, now has more than 90,000 subscribers, parents of deaf children as well as people who simply want to learn to sign.

Videos that Tracy first shared with her family members so that they could communicate with her son Ridann. “They encouraged me to make them public and it interested people who also understood our story”, says Tracy Izoird. Born very prematurely, Ridann very quickly developed many health problems. At the age of 2, he was diagnosed with bilateral deafness.

Tracy Izoird then decided to learn sign language to be able to communicate with her son. photo wendy noël

Snow in the Pyrenees for the Christmas holidays

#PYRÉNÉES-ORIENTALES“Up to 80 centimetres of snow fell at the top of the slopes during the night from Sunday to Monday and around fifty centimetres were recorded at the bottom of the slopes”, says Jérôme Meunier, director of the Angles resort where 100% of the area will be accessible from this Tuesday, according to L’Indépendant.

In Font-Romeu, the entire ski area has been open since Monday. “Normally, during this period, only two thirds are accessible.” The start of the season is ideal. Holidaymakers have not been mistaken.

Jacques Alvarez, director of the resort, announces an occupancy rate of 80% for this first week of holidays. Formiguères, Porté-Puymorens and the Cambre d’Aze space are also open.

The bullfighters of yesterday and today united

#NÎMESThe association of French bullfighters held its general assembly in Nîmes. Many bullfighters were present around the president Marc Serrano and the treasurer Maxime Solera: Andres Martinez, Andy Younes, Adrien Salenc, Dorian Canton, El Rafi and Carlos Olsina.

As every year, retired matadors were invited by the members of the AMTF (Frédéric Pascal, Chinito, Freddy Porte, Patrick Varin, Christian Lesur, André Viard, Juan Villanueva, Gilles Raoux, Swan Soto and Juan Bautista) and joined the discussions to establish the balance sheet of this temporada and the projects for 2025.

The figure of the day: 791

#MONTPELLIERThis is the number of children who received a gift this Monday, as part of the distribution organized by the Renaissance association for the 13th consecutive year. No fewer than 90 volunteers were mobilized for the delivery of the packages on the forecourt of the Opéra-Comédie.

The operation, already carried out this year in Béziers, Sète, Lodève, Nîmes, Lunel, Marseille too, and Montpellier on December 23, will have benefited this year, in total, 5,000 children.
