THE LITTLE MERMAID (DEN LILLE HAVFRUE)
No one can ignore it, the Little Mermaid is the symbol of Copenhagen, immortalized forever by Andersen's famous tale.
Surrounded by tourists and boats, the Little Mermaid is undoubtedly the symbol of Copenhagen. Admittedly, she's not very big, but she exudes a melancholy charm. She was sculpted by Edvard Eriksen in 1913 for Carl Jacobsen to immortalize the features of his mistress Ellen Price, prima ballerina at the Royal Theatre. He had fallen in love with her during a ballet illustrating Andersen's fairy tale. The statue was donated to the city and installed at the entrance to the port.

Ne vous attendez pas à une statue immense sinon vous seriez déçu.e !
Nous avons eu la chance d'y aller après une averse, nous étions très peu devant la petite sirène ce qui a rendu notre rencontre plus agréable. Je pense qu'avec beaucoup de touristes le charme doit être un peu rompu.
