I love the idea of this. I've experienced this a couple of time in Atlanta. Once, when walking with a friend, we stopped into the local Kirkwood wine store, and did a tasting outside . The stone wall and small patio made me feel like I was in Europe, even though I was just blocks from my home. Another time was at Nomad, a store at Ponce City Market, where I got lost looking at their coffee table books on travel and photography. Both times, I felt like I had briefly visited another place or culture.
I wonder how the French would feel about translating "to flane" as "farting around." L'Academie may ban your passport. On the other hand, I did once purchase this book, so you may be right! https://a.co/d/bKNRirF

Sounds like you have this art down to a . . .science? Maybe ability to flaneaur should be added to your city rating system.
So it goes.
Nice. 👍
Nice song. A corollary is this one he did with Paul Simon in 2015:
"New York Is My Home"

I hope you keep it on the shelf next to Baudelaire.
Mais bien sur mon Ami!!!
