Paris 13th: Street Art Segway Tour with Photo Stops

Summary

Segway through Paris murals see Bordalo II Inti Okuda up close

You’ll zip through Paris’ 13th arrondissement by Segway with a local guide, stopping for photos beside giant murals by artists like Seth and Bordalo II. Feel the city’s pulse as you roll past bakeries and bold street art, with all your gear included for comfort. It’s lively, colorful—and somehow personal.

What’s the experience like?

We started in the 13th arrondissement, helmets on and a little nervous about looking ridiculous on Segways (I mean, you never really feel cool at first). Our guide, Camille, just grinned and told us to relax — “You’ll get the hang of it before we even spot the first mural.” She was right. The city felt different from up here, gliding past boulangeries with that buttery smell floating out, then suddenly—bam—Seth’s enormous faces staring down at us from a building. I tried to pronounce “arrondissement” properly; Camille laughed and said mine was better than most Americans she’d heard.

There’s something weirdly peaceful about rolling through these wide boulevards on a Segway. You notice details you’d miss walking or in a car: the way someone’s laundry flaps above an Inti mural, or how Bordalo II’s lemur is built from actual trash — I could see old bike tires in its tail. We stopped for photos so often I lost count (Camille never rushed us), and every time I looked up there was another splash of color or some tiny Invader tile tucked near a street sign. My hands got cold gripping the handlebars but they’d given us those anti-cold sleeves — small thing but honestly made a difference.

I didn’t expect to feel so much energy from street art — it’s loud but also kind of thoughtful? Shepard Fairey’s piece had people pausing to talk about politics right there on the sidewalk. Sometimes locals would nod at Camille or toss her a quick “salut,” like she was part of the neighborhood fabric. We looped past Bois de Boulogne too, which felt like a breath after all that concrete and color. I still think about one mural that looked completely different depending where you stood — wish I could remember who did it, but maybe that’s part of why it stuck with me.
