Description: A flâneur is a stroller, a loiterer, someone who ambles through a city without apparent purpose but is secretly attuned to the history of the place and in covert search of adventure. In this book, Edmund White strolls into the parts of Paris virtually unknown to visitors and to many Parisians.
