The Experience

I’ll admit, I was a little nervous standing on the Segway for the first time near the École Militaire — my hands were cold and I could smell fresh bread drifting over from somewhere (seriously, how do Parisians always have baguettes?). Our guide, Camille, joked that if we could survive her jokes, we’d survive the Champs de Mars traffic. She showed us how to lean just right, and after about ten minutes wobbling around in circles, it actually felt easy. There’s something about rolling past the Eiffel Tower on two wheels that makes you feel both ridiculous and kind of invincible at once.

We zipped along under trees that were still dripping from last night’s rain. The city has this gray-blue light in the morning — you notice it more when you’re not behind glass. At Pont Alexandre III, Camille pointed out all these gold details I’d never noticed before (I probably would’ve missed them if I was walking). A couple waved at us from a café terrace like we were part of some parade. I tried saying “bonjour” as confidently as possible but probably sounded like a lost tourist. The Segway tour Paris route took us past Petit Palais and Grand Palais too — honestly, those buildings are even more impressive up close than in photos.

By the time we reached Place de la Concorde, my legs had stopped shaking and I was grinning for no reason. There’s this moment where you’re gliding along and you catch a glimpse of the Seine between statues — it feels like you’re in your own movie for a second. Camille told stories about old duels and oddball kings; she laughed when someone asked if she ever got bored of this view (“Jamais!”). We stopped for photos at Pont de l’Alma — my helmet hair was wild but nobody cared. It all felt pretty loose and real.

What’s included
