For her birthday, Manon wanted to try a Segway. We live close to the Palace of Versailles, so I rented Segways there to go around the Park of the Palace. The training session was clear and easy, and very quickly, we were perfectly at ease! It was an excellent idea because the park is very big and it can be tiring sometimes. We really enjoyed our visit. What a fantastic experience!

Clever stuff happening!
