Manneken-Pis de Colmar, Bronze fountain statue in Little Venice district, Colmar, France
The Manneken-Pis of Colmar is a bronze sculpture showing a small nude boy urinating into a basin, mounted on a brick pedestal along rue des Augustins. The statue sits in a central location within the Little Venice district, surrounded by historic buildings and narrow streets.
The city received this replica of Brussels' Manneken Pis in 1922 to mark the fourth anniversary of its liberation. The gift connected two cities that had shared experiences during wartime.
The figure wears different costumes during local celebrations, connecting Colmar and Brussels through shared traditions. This practice shows how the two cities maintain their historical bond through art and humor.
The monument sits in a lively district with many restaurants and shops, making it easily accessible. Visitors can discover and visit it without difficulty while walking through the historic old town.
The inscription on the statue's base refers to specific events connecting Brussels and Colmar, distinguishing it from other Manneken Pis replicas worldwide. This personal connection makes it something special among all its counterparts.
