Blog began when I lived in Paris 2009-2010. I’ve chosen to call myself a ‘Flâneuse’, which is a female version of the type of character created in the nineteenth century by Balzac and Baudelaire. The male flâneur was a stylish fellow who strolled around Paris observing and commenting on personal, cultural, corporate and political behaviour. My blog initially was not seriously intended to present any such analysis – simply to share my photos and occasional experiences.
However, as a seasoned Left campaigner in Australia and the UK - and having dipped my toe into French politics for many years - for the 2017 presidential elections, in my new "Flâneuse Politique" blog, I'm tracing my involvement with the Socialist Party campaign, as well as the election processes in general.
