"At the very center of Montmartre, this statue is an hommage to Marcel Aymé's most famous novel "The passe-muraille" literally The Walker-Through-Walls. This popular French writer, with a very prolific production, from children books to more dark and realist novels, used to live in this very place.
The sculpteur that did the statue gave it the face of the writer. "
