The Experience

I’ll admit it—my first five minutes on the Segway were not exactly graceful. I wobbled in front of a group of Parisians who barely glanced up from their cigarettes (maybe they’ve seen it all). Our guide, Camille, grinned and promised we’d be “flying” soon enough. She was right. Once we got going, something about rolling through the 7th Arrondissement made me forget how silly I probably looked in that helmet. The city felt different from this angle—closer somehow.

We zipped along the Seine and paused at Pont Alexandre III. The gold statues caught the early light, and Camille shared a story about how Parisians used to sneak onto the bridge at night—she said it with a wink, so who knows if it’s true. The air smelled faintly of fresh bread from somewhere nearby. At one point, I tried to say “Petit Palais” with my best French accent; Camille laughed and corrected me gently (I still can’t get it right). There was a quick stop at Place de la Concorde where someone’s dog barked at our little convoy—I don’t blame him.

By the time we reached the Eiffel Tower, my nerves had faded completely. We’d passed so many landmarks—the Grand Palais shining in the sun, people waving as we rolled by the Louvre—that I almost forgot we were technically on a tour. It felt more like being let in on some local secret, especially when Camille pointed out a tiny café tucked between two grand buildings and told us her favorite pastry there (I wish I’d had time to try it). My hands were cold gripping the handlebars but I didn’t really care; Paris has that effect sometimes.
