Where its name comes from

Kind of name: Descriptive name
Theme: Buildings

Cette rue est l'une des rares de Bruxelles ayant conservé son nom au travers des siècles. Il est fait référence ici à trois fontaines publiques qui étaient utilisées pour l'installation de bains chauds et autre termes. De ces trois fontaines, une seule a persisté jusqu'à nos jours : Menneke-Pis. (remark in French, as published)
