CIAO·PARIS
One of 13 Paris types
The Classic Flâneur
No destination, one bakery stop, one bench.
You leave the flat without a plan and let the street decide. Somewhere in the middle you stop for bread, and at the end you sit down with a view.
What they actually do
- Leaves with no destination in mind
- Stops at the bakery that looks right
- Ends on a bench facing something
The contradiction
You go out for bread and come back three hours later, with bread.
A typical route
- Walk with no destination
- bakery stop
- bench with a view
