Flâneur

A flâneur is someone who leisurely explores and observes urban life, often strolling through city streets, parks, or markets without a fixed destination. Originating in 19th-century Paris, the concept embodies a curious, detached admirer of the city's everyday scenes—from people’s interactions to architectural details. The flâneur experiences the city at a relaxed pace, paying attention to the nuances of urban life, which fosters a deeper appreciation and understanding of the city's culture and atmosphere. This role blends a sense of exploration with reflective observation, capturing the city's ephemeral moments in a thoughtful, immersive way.
