Surprised you didn't know the word, what with you being bookshop-ish. We vaguely know a couple round the corner from us who amble about locally in an amiable fashion - when we see them coming we always say "Ah, les flaneurs!"
There also used to be an entertaining thing on Twitter called, I think, The Edinburgh Flaneur - someone who wandered around posh bits of the Old Town and New Town taking pictures of fancy cars and front doors etc with captions along the lines of how the owners were roughing it.
PS - Happy new year everyone!
