There lies a head - protected by his hand - that goes to the heart voila Pestalozzi

In front of the Saint-Eustache church, Place Rene Cassin, sits a giant, seventy-ton abstract sculpture of a head resting on a hand and made of sandstone. It is called, "l'ecoute" ("Listening"), created by Henri de Miller and placed there in 1986.
With its location directly opposite the Gothic Church of Saint-Eustache, "Ecoute" presents a striking contrast between old and new, one of the defining characteristics of Paris. The sculpture is loved by children, teenagers and also tourists and belongs among the most photographed pieces of art in Paris.
