Flâneuse!

Why hang around wandering without a precise destination? Simple, because flânerie is an art of urban wandering that allows us to explore our cities with freedom, curiosity and above all, without haste! A journey from the birth of flânerie to contemporary leisure.

Alongside the figures of the flâneurs such as Edgar Allan Poe, Charles Baudelaire or Marcel Proust, there have been, and still are, many flâneuses who, through their walks, have established a strong bond with their cities, exercising their creative and emotional freedom through the subjective exploration of urban spaces.

From George Sand to Virginia Woolf, from Sophie Calle to Zadie Smith, flâneuses of yesterday and today can inspire you for your own personal walk around the streets of the cities you know. Alone or in the company of other flâneuses, the choice is yours. All you have to do is be willing to abandon your daily routine and let your thoughts wander free to draw new perspectives and new glances at the places around you.

Flâneuse! is a book to read, but it is also a guide with which to experiment through exercises, games and writing with the drift of walking and the exploration of flânerie.
