Walking is a quintessential part of French daily life—people often stroll to the boulangerie, the park, or just to chat with neighbors. While *marcher* is the neutral verb for “to walk,” *se promener* adds a nuance of leisure. Remember that *ouais* is very informal; in a professional setting you’d replace it with *oui* or *effectivement*.
