Flaneur: a detached pedestrian observer of a metropolis, a “gentleman stroller of city streets”, first identified by Charles Baudelaire.

Paris is not just the most beautiful and most romantic city in the world it is a state of mind. Savor every moment of your time in the City of Light, especially those unexpected pleasures that lurk around every corner as you lift your head skyward and discover a bas-relief or watercolor painting one flight above the ground on a building you had passed before without noticing.

I invite you to join me in Paris au flaneur as we wend our way from one side of Seine to the other, pausing to enjoy the obvious (the Louvre) and the slightly hidden (passage Vivienne.) A day of guerilla theater with me as director and you as an actor whose unique observations and impressions add a texture and spontaneity to our script.

Among our stops will be the cafés of St. Germain, the courtyards of the Louvre, the Palais Royale and gardens, Les Halles, the Marais and many more.

As longtime subscribers to the Paris Through Expatriate Eyes newsletter, THE PARIS INSIDER, we knew that the Paris au Flaneur program would be an illuminating way to prepare ourselves to discover and enjoy Paris on our own–we just didn’t know that it would be so entertaining.

Our host Terrance Gelenter combines the journalist’s eye for detail and subtext and the film critic’s knowledge of cinematic Paris, accompanied by the saloon singer’s ability to sing a few bars of songs, in French and English, inspired by Paris –imagine that you are in one of Hollywood’s great musicals about Paris. – Philip Knowlton & Suzanne Fitzgerald

About your host: Terrance Gelenter Few non-Frenchmen know the City of Light so intimately.  The founder/director of Paris Through Expatriate Eyes is a fluent French speaker and has for thirty years been a regular visitor to Paris. This has given him an intimate acquaintance with its less familiar cafés, museums, & bistros, and helped him form a network of Parisian friends who generously share their expertise.  His work has brought him into contact with numerous figures in the world of French literature and show business, including Oscar-winner Juliette Binoche, film director Bertrand Tavernier, philosopher Bernard-Henri Levy, Peter Mayle, and Diane Johnson, author of Le Divorce, and Into a Paris Quartier to name but a few.

His literary salons with English-language authors of books about Paris in San Francisco and Paris draw standing room audiences.
