Viveur

So I remember a few weeks ago someone was asking what the French word "viveur" means. Viveur is a reveller or someone who takes great delight in something. I'm not sure what context it was used in, so there is a good chance that it has a different meaning in English. Most French words that are used in English have different meanings than in French. (i.e. in English a rendezvous means to meet up or a meeting, but in French rendezvous refers only to a formal appointment like with a doctor or professor).
