Origin in 1997 instead of 1999

This article about NOX Singapore (dine in the dark restaurant) refers to the origin in France 1997: http://rubbisheatrubbishgrow.com/2013/09/23/nox-singapore/ and also in the FAQ section: http://www.noxdineinthedark.com/page/faq/

"This concept has been developed in France since 1997, thanks to the Paul Guinot Foundation (the second largest organization for blind people in France); this foundation has developed a program of dinners in total darkness called "Le goût du noir?"("Taste of darkness"). A non-permanent restaurant was set up in Paris for the first time in 1999 in the Montorgueuil district. This program has been very successful especially in the media."

So I did some research and found the same story here: http://paris.danslenoir.com/history.en.html

"Dinners in the dark are an old idea used by associations for people with blindness since the middle of the 19th century, to help their families and friends gain awareness about visual impairments. These are the questions (the question mark in our logo) that designers and researchers like Professor Andreas Heinecke in Germany have sought to answer for more than a dozen years with sensory event experiments and artistic performances in the darkness. We also note the works of Michel Reilhac in France, and the work done in France since 1997 by the Paul Guinot Association for people with visual impairments. Until 2003 this association has organized dinners in the dark throughout France within the program "Le Goût du Noir" and created the first temporary restaurant "Dans le Noir?" in 1999 in the Montorgueil quarter of Paris."

So I would like to change the article according to these facts which happened earlier than 1999. --Never stop exploring (talk) 13:00, 17 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Huggi: Thank you for your interest in this article. It does look as if other similar initiatives may slightly predate Blindekuh. It would be good to cite sources independent of the Dans le Noir restaurants themselves. Here's a review of Le goût du noir in Libération from July 1999, referring to previous initiatives. Also the article in French Wikipedia led me to this report in Le Parisien from January 2001, where it states that Michel Reilhac "has been organising encounters of this type for several years". You are welcome to add any sourced information about this and any other restaurants that started the trend: Noyster (talk), 19:07, 24 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
