Strolling is walking along or through at a leisurely pace. Strolling is a pastime and activity enjoyed worldwide as a leisure activity. The object of strolling is to walk at a slightly slower pace in an attempt to absorb the surroundings.
Works featuring the flâneur, French for a “strolling urban observer”, have appeared in European and American literature since the late 18th century.[1]
