The French have a verb for a very specific pastime. The dictionary has it as - Flâner… (v) to wander about with no particular purpose.
Pronounced - flan - as in pan and ay - as in hay. She (or indeed he - Le Flâneur) was an individual who elegantly ambled the streets and squares with no desire to get anywhere specific, but simply to be there. To observe. To absorb. To walk with no agenda other than the call of curiosity.
