![The Flâneur [A Trip with Emily]](http://bp2.blogger.com/_0MwDu54mbEs/R8B0Q7qBc5I/AAAAAAAAAoo/OvgVvh9CFqA/S660-s0-d/UrbanMemories-smaller2+copy.jpg)

A flâneur is a detached pedestrian observer of a metropolis, a “gentleman stroller of city streets”
The term flâneur (or jetter) comes from the French verb flâner, which means "to stroll". A flâneur is thus a person who walks the city in order to experience it. Because of the term's usage and theorization by Charles Beaudelaire and numerous thinkers in economic, cultural, literary and historical fields, the idea of the flâneur has accumulated significant meaning as a referent for understanding urban phenomena and modernity.
