Hey, what do you feel like doing today? I've got it...let's throw some axes. C'mon...
Well if you were in Paris, you could. There's a place called Les Cognees - French for "axes" or "hatchets" - where people can gather after work and pay to hurl heavy edged weapons around. All you need is about $17 and for an hour you can feel like a warrior :)
Les Cognees was created by Thomas Morel, a 30-year-old former financier who saw how much Canadians liked the sport, or game, or pastime, or whatever you might call it. And since Paris is hosting the Olympics in 2024, he wants to make axe-throwing an Olympic sport.
If you're worried about getting an injury, safeguards are in place: no alcohol is served, the blades of the axes are blunted and security measures are read out to participants when they arrive.
I've got the 17 bucks now all I need is some cheap fare to Paris...who's with me?
