He also falls into an illicit love affair with a married woman whose jealous husband works at night. He then allows himself to be caught and jailed but then escapes by simply walking through the walls of his jail cell. His criminal exploits soon became the talk of the town. He uses this unique talent to becomes a jewelry store burglar and bank robber. In this story, a man named Dutilleul finds out he has the ability to pass through the walls. Aymé spent a great part of his life in Montmartre and situated most of his novels in the neighborhood.
Mounted on a stone wall and looking as if the man was caught mid-stride walking through a wall, the bronze statue is a tribute to the work of the French writer Marcel Aymé.
I recently had the opportunity to vacation in Paris with my children and grandchildren and we did a guided walking tour of Montmartre where we saw this statue with the funny story.
