Marcel Ayme wrote a relatively famous novel about a guy, M. Dutilleul, who finds out he can pass through walls. Dutilleul uses his super powers for evil, committing crimes of various types. But justice is served in the end when he gets stuck midway through the wall.
That's the scene that is portrayed here. Tourists often grab a hand to pull him out of the wall, leaving it shiny. However, it doesn't work. The man isn't going anywhere soon.
Atlas Obscura has this line about its location: "The Place Marcel Ayme is on rue Norvins and rue Girardon in Montmartre and in the shadow of Sacre-Coeur."
