Thus speaks the Ethnologue:

LYONS SIGN LANGUAGE: a language of France
SIL code:  LSG
Population No estimate available.
Classification Deaf sign language.
Comments 250 miles from Paris, but difficult and little intelligibility
  with French Sign Language.

Not exactly a wealth of details, but still, something must underlie this.

A summary of sign languages appears at
