The most famous Brussels citizen has been peeing on the corner of Rue du Chêne and Rue de l'Etuve for centuries and continues to amaze.
This famous statuette was created by Jérôme Duquesnoy, a renowned 17th-century sculptor. His style is in the tradition of gaillardes fountains. The artist gave a baroque interpretation to the motif of the urinating child. A Brussels citizen in his own right, he is associated with the city's events, for which he is usually dressed. From time to time, the flowing water is replaced by beer.
Manneken-Pis has a less media-savvy but just as cheerful little sister, Jeanneke-Pis, crouched at the end of the impasse de la Fidélité.

Visite incontournable de Bruxelles, à deux pas de la Grand Place. Mais ne vous attendez pas à quelque chose d'exceptionnel... :)

Visite incontournable à Bruxelles, statue historique mais un peu difficile à trouver. La statue est plus petite en vrai qu'elle n'y parait en photo...

On a eut du mal à le trouver en angle d une rue commercante pas renversé par sa splendeur mais c est un incontournable. Profitez de la rue commercante pour manger une gaufre gourmande et acheter du chocolat

Passage obligé d'une visite à Bruxelles. On est surpris par la petite taille de la statue qui passerait presque inaperçu si une foule de touriste n'envahissait pas le carrefour où elle prend place. Dans ces conditions, pas évident de prendre une photo ou de profiter du lieu. Passage obligé donc, mais rapide.
