Flânerie is a term coined by Baudelaire which can be translated as “the art of losing oneself”, of wandering aimlessly in an attitude of constant wonder and surprise towards what happens in the world.

We're going to visit Paris with any plans, only following our sights
The elegance of this city is impressive, works of extraordinary architecture

Beautiful but also sad, as if the beauty of art had been mixed with a glorious, but not too happy past. It's like looking at a gorgeous woman, after she's cried all her tears out.
