Man who walk through walls (Le Passe-Muraille)

Why take a photo here?
A quirky Montmartre classic: a bronze man emerging mid-stride from a stone wall. It references Marcel Aymé’s short story about Dutilleul, a clerk who could walk through walls—perfect for playful, story-driven shots.

Best time to shoot:
Morning for fewer people and clean frames. Late afternoon light adds texture to the wall and sculpture.

Pro tip:
Stand slightly to the side so the sculpture “steps” into your frame. Try an interaction shot (reaching for his hand) for a fun illusion.
