SAINT-JACQUES "HYPE AND GAY"


SAINT-JACQUES
© JP Remy - OPT

 

Description:

Home to the Manneken-Pis, Brussels' most famous little inhabitant, the Saint-Jacques district is a bit like him. But one thing is for sure: the weather is always great at Saint-Jacques: on the outside cafés at the first sign of spring, or inside, in the warmth of the trendy cafés and stylish restaurants. A centre for the city's craftsmen in the 12th century, the area housed a hospital, placed under the patronage of Saint-Jacques. You can literally find everything here. Trendy fashion, vintage, artistic and sophisticated gadgets, book stores, comic strips and music… As for clothing, diversity is the first of the many qualities in this part of town, which nonchalantly mixes styles and tastes.

MANNEKEN-PIS (BRUXELLES)

MANNEKEN-PIS
© Karina Nestler
Also known as the "Ketje de Bruxelles", the "little boy of Brussels" is one of the city's most cherished figures. Tourists and Belgians come to visit and laugh at this statue, which is often dressed in one of its costumes (the impressive wardrobe is on display at the "Maison du Roi/King's House" on the Grand'Place). Numerous legends have sprung up around this symbolic Brussels figure. The most commonly heard is the one that, by answering his famous call of nature, he reputedly extinguished the burning fuse of a bomb destined for the Grand'Place. In reality, this charming little fountain was put in place during the reign of Archiduke Albert and Archiduchess Isabelle to supply drinking water to the neighbourhood.
