Sculpture Passing Through Walls in Paris
About
Art is full of surprises and intrigues. A perfect example of this style is the sculpture located in Paris called "The Passer-Through-Walls." Created in 1989, it represents the eponymous character from a story by Marcel Aymé. The writer lived in Montmartre for many years, and the city authorities decided to memorialize him in this way. Upon closer examination of the sculpture, one can notice that its left hand is shinier than the rest of the monument. This is because there is a rumor among Parisians about the magical properties of the hand. According to legend, whoever shakes it while making their most heartfelt wish, will soon have it fulfilled.

Sculpteur originale, lieu très agréable.

La statue du Passe-Muraille, située sur la charmante Place Marcel Aymé à Montmartre, est un hommage fantaisiste et poétique à l'œuvre de Marcel Aymé. J'adore l'idée de cet homme qui semble sortir du mur, ce qui confère à l'endroit une atmosphère magique et un brin surréaliste. C'est un petit coin de Paris qui invite à la rêverie et à la contemplation. C'est un arrêt incontournable pour les amoureux de littérature et une curiosité amusante lors d'une balade sur la Butte.

Parada rápida e divertida em Montmartre! Meus filhos adoraram a história do homem que atravessa paredes. Mesmo com turistas, o espaço é amplo e vale a visita — especialmente com crianças.
