In the year 1760 in Paris, a chance encounter led the abbe Charles-Michel de 1' Epee to take in charge the education of two young deaf-mute sisters. L'Epee started to build up his own teaching method. Encouraged by his first successes, he took on additional pupils, and institutionalized his activities by opening a day school. Although the process was gradual and there is no dating the exact year in which the school came into official existence, 1760 is the one generally agreed on. The small practice of the early days developed to a point where l'Epee had as many as sixty pupils. Following his death in 1789 and the French Revolution, the Paris Institution for the Deaf-Mutes became a boarding school under full governmental control, which, having moved from its original location at ]'Epee's family house, Rue des Moulins, settled down in 1794 in the walls of the former seminary Saint-Magloire, Rue Saint-Jacques. Although it has changed names quite a number of times, it has remained a governmental institution ever since and is still located Rue Saint-Jacques.
