Jeanneke Pis: Brussels' Playful Little Sister
Discover Brussels' hidden gem: Jeanneke Pis, the playful and modern counterpart to Manneken Pis, symbolizing gender equality and the city's irreverent spirit in a charming alleyway.
Tucked away in a narrow alley near the bustling Rue des Bouchers, Jeanneke Pis offers a cheeky and modern counterpoint to Brussels' famous Manneken Pis. Unveiled in 1987, this bronze statue depicts a little girl gleefully urinating, symbolizing gender equality and the city's irreverent spirit. While often overshadowed by her male counterpart, Jeanneke Pis has become a beloved symbol in her own right, drawing visitors to discover this hidden gem and toss a coin into her fountain for good luck. Surrounded by vibrant cafes and shops, a visit to Jeanneke Pis provides a unique glimpse into Brussels' playful heart and progressive values, offering a memorable and amusing experience for all who venture down Impasse de la Fidélité.
