What’s the experience like?

I’ll admit, I was a little nervous about looking ridiculous on a Segway in Paris. But honestly? After five minutes rolling past Les Invalides with our guide Camille cracking jokes about Napoleon’s hat size, I didn’t care. There’s something about gliding along those wide boulevards — wind in your face, the faint smell of croissants from some hidden bakery, people waving or just raising an eyebrow (Parisians are subtle) — that makes you feel like you’re part of the city for a few hours.

We zipped across the Pont Alexandre III just as the clouds started to break, gold statues glinting above us. Camille pointed out how the bridge was built for the World Fair — she even showed us a spot where couples leave tiny locks (I never would’ve noticed). The Grand Palais and Petit Palais looked almost too perfect to be real, sunlight bouncing off those glass domes. Sometimes we’d stop for a quick photo or just to listen — there’s this hum of traffic mixed with laughter from café terraces. I tried saying “Petit Palais” in my best French; Camille laughed and said it sounded more Italian than anything else.

By the time we reached Place de la Concorde, my legs had stopped worrying about balance and were just enjoying the ride. The sheer size of that square surprised me — it’s massive but somehow still feels human, probably because everyone’s out walking or sitting on benches. We passed by the Louvre and Musée d’Orsay too, Camille sharing bits of history I definitely missed in school (she made the old train station story at Orsay actually interesting). The whole day trip felt relaxed but full — no rushing, just rolling along at our own pace.

I still think about that moment under the Eiffel Tower when we paused and looked up through all that ironwork. It’s funny how seeing these places from a Segway changes your perspective — you notice little things like kids chasing pigeons or how rain smells different on Parisian stone. If you’re curious or just want to see Paris without sore feet, this Segway city tour is honestly worth it.
