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.

" But it is tiny! " Here is our reaction by discovering this famous mr of Brussels. To be able to observe it quietly, it is better to come early in the morning, and/or during the week: if not, it is quickly surrounded by dozens of tourists who jostle to approach it, a bit like the Mona Lisa in the Louvre…

Un incontournable lors d'une visite de Bruxelles dont ce petit bonhomme est devenu un emblème.

It is famous yes but it is not essential in my direction.
A small status beside a fountain, the grand place is pretty much!

A voir car c'est quand même le symbole de la ville et du pays mais bon ce n'est pas extraordinaire. Par contre, le magasin de gaufres à côté vaut le détour! Les gaufres sont à 1 euros et les garnitures entre 0.50 à 2 euros.
