Florian is a perfect coach / French tutor for a beginner in Segway and French. I am in Paris for volunteering for the Olympic games, and I was looking to make the most of my time here that takes me into some fresh air. I have always wanted to try Segway, so when I spotted this amongst the Things to do, I jumped at the chance.
I met Florian near the Chateau of Vincennes and as I was the only client, we dived straight into business. He judged my French level well (beginner - intermediate) so he delivered the safety brief in English. With a little practice with the basics manoeuvre, off we went.
It was a warm and dry day, but the breeze made it very pleasant. Florian is very knowledgeable of the history of the area (which he provided in French), I think I understood gist if not the most of it. The venue was beautiful and he had some "surprises" that added a nice tough. I found it was pretty easy to pick up how to move with the Segway. He guided me through tricky areas ( narrow, busy, other traffic) and pointed potential hazards as well as pointing out interesting scenery. I found it truly enjoyable and recommended for anyone who wants to have a go on segway, wants to tour Paris with an added twist or simply a lovely guide and companion for a couple of hours.

This was an amazing experience and we had such a good time. Easy to learn to ride the Segway and lots of fun in the capable hands of our wonderful guide Florian.

What an incredible experience!! I wasn’t sure what to expect and was a bit nervous as this was my first time on a Segway. Florian (the instructor) was thorough, kind, patient and also very entertaining/ good personality. I highly recommend this tour to anyone looking to have a fun day.
Florian, thank you so much for the wonderful experience, and taking the time to capture it and send us photos. The day was magnifique- Matthew and I will definitely book another tour next time we are in Paris!

Perfect Segway-tour if you like nature and/or prefer a safe quiet environment (without other traffic). Our friendly guide Julian managed to involve all (7) participants very well

Looking to do a segway trip in Europe I found that most go through busy city sites, which doesn't seem a relaxing way to try segway.
So I was delighted to find this tour which runs through the very large park/forest area on the edge of Paris - Bois de Vincennes - which we could access by bus or metro. My teenage sons (15 and 18), my husband and I all really enjoyed the experience. Segway training was provided and it is not too difficult to ride as long as you concentrate. Our host Alois had good English, warm manner and was very knowledgeable about the area.
There was plenty to see across the park and a variety of paths to practice our segway. Only disadvantage is that there seem to be no toilet facilities within the park!
The host took photos for us and shared them with us afterwards to provide us with a record of our trip. Thanks Wheels and Ways! Highly recommended.
