Pass (pa-SAY). Passed. This is an auxiliary movement in which the foot of the working leg passes the knee of the supporting leg from one position to another or one leg passes the other in the air or one foot is picked up and passes in back or in front of the supporting leg.

Maryann Pagano Passe, age 80, of Trumbull, Connecticut and beloved wife of William J. Passe, passed away peacefully on Tuesday, January 19, 2021. Born in Graniti, Province of Messina, Sicily, Italy, she was the daughter of the late Sebastian and Carmella Messina Pagano and came to the United States as a young girl. She was a devoted wife, mother, and grandmother who cared for and loved her family deeply.

While wandering around Montmartre, you might be lucky enough to bump into this great statue/sculpture, Le Passe-Muraille (the Passer-Through-Walls). Le Passe-Muraille is the title of a story by Marcel Aym about a man named Dutilleul who discovers that he can (you guessed it) walk through walls. The statue is situated in a place named after Marcel Aym in beautiful Montmartre.

You can see how his lower hand is shiny from all of the tourists taking pictures pretending to pull le passe-muraille out of the wall. The statue is a bit larger than life and somewhat high up on that wall, so you really can't reach the hand that you'd actually want to pull on to help the poor guy.

Place Marcel Aym is located just off of Rue Norvins, in the 18th arrondissement; here's a map pinpointing the location. There's no Mtro station that's really close by, but this whole section of Montmartre is absolutely perfect for a long, winding afternoon stroll, and it's definitely worth making a note of Rue Norvins/Place Marcel Aym on your map and working in a visit to poor old Dutilleul while you're in the neighborhood.

If you're in the area, you're just half a block or so from Le Moulin de la Galette, which is a restaurant in an old windmill! I've never dined there myself so I don't have an article about it, but I've always wanted to check it out. At the very least you should stop by and take a look at the windmill. You can find it at the same map link above.
