Begin your Montmartre journey at the picturesque Abbesses metro station, famous for its Art Nouveau entrance and bohemian vibe. From there, stroll through winding streets full of charm and hidden history until you reach Place Marcel Aymé — a peaceful square with a surprising twist. Here you'll find Le Passe-Muraille, a bronze sculpture of a man walking through a wall, inspired by a short story by local author Marcel Aymé. Your guide will share the whimsical tale of this magical character, blending literature and legend. Created by actor-sculptor Jean Marais, the statue has become a quirky favorite among locals and visitors alike. It’s a perfect example of Montmartre’s playful spirit and artistic soul — and a must-see for lovers of offbeat Paris.
