We are so used to hearing – Arrête de flâner! here in Quebeec, which means: Stop being so lazy! It’s more often used as the “lazy” definiting instead of the strolling one…
Do enjoy your flânage, Beth!
Oh, wow, what a great word! When I first moved to the last city I lived in, I’d do this. I’d hop on a tram and get off in the CBD and just wander. It was always interesting. Glad to know there’s a gorgeous word to describe the activity- and that it’s not something exclusive to me!
You have this gift to have a picture that tells a story and then add to the story with a brief and appropriate quote or sentence that drives the story home! Beautiful post!

Lucky girl Beth.. to be able to stroll the city at the moment.. Geelong resembles a ghost town …
