Manneken Pis

Manneken Pis in Bulgarian national costume for the Balkan Trafik festival in May 2014, still doing what he does best into the basin below. Jérôme Duquesnoy made the bronze boy in 1619, and the one on the corner of Rue de l'Étuve today is a copy. The real joke is the wardrobe. He owns more than a thousand costumes, and the city dresses him on a calendar of fixed dates. Expect a crowd and a smaller statue than you imagined.
