- PoignardAzur 4y agoThere are some in the Paris area; I haven't ever used them though. I don't even know how you'd get access to one.
- vladvasiliu 4y agoWe've actually had those in Paris. Didn't quite follow the subject so don't know the details, but for some reason they've decided to stop the scheme and tear them down.
