flâneur
From an online French dictionary:
Je chante le chien crotté, le chien sans domicile, le chien flâneur, le chien saltimbanque (BAUDEL., Poèm. prose, 1867, p. 223). (Of the filthy dog I sing, the homeless dog, the sauntering dog, the picaresque dog.)
Souriant à sa joliesse, comme une belle flâneuse (ROLLAND, J.-Chr., Foire, 1908, p. 818). (Smiling at her cuteness, like an itinerant beauty.)
Ceci n'est pas un seing.
