"Avoir la tête dans les nuages" is a French expression that translates to "having one's head in the clouds" in English. This idiom figuratively describes someone who is daydreaming, lost in thought, or not paying attention to their surroundings because they are preoccupied with their own fantasies or ideas. The phrase originates from the image of someone whose head is so high up in the clouds that they are disconnected from the reality on the ground. It carries a connotation of being impractical or absent-minded, often used humorously to gently tease someone who seems detached from the present moment.
