MANNEKEN-PIS
Go there and contact
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 of the urinating child motif. 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-friendly but equally cheeky little sister, Jeanneke-Pis, crouched at the end of the impasse de la Fidélité.

Petit conseil : y aller chaque jour de votre présence, pour avoir la chance de le voir costumé ^^
Le soir cela peut être plus tranquille.
A savoir que lorsque plusieurs donateurs de costumes souhaitent que la statue soit habillée le même jour, il peut porter un costume différent le matin, l'après midi, et le soir ! En revanche il n'est jamais habillé la nuit, pour éviter les vols.
