You're standing at Manneken Pis, on the corner of Rue de l'Étuve and Rue du Chêne, a few minutes' walk from the Grand-Place. A little underwhelmed? You wouldn't be the first. The bronze boy is only 55.5 centimetres tall. Take a look at the blue stone niche around him too, in rococo style. It dates from 1770 and was taken from another Brussels fountain.
