Tchantes

This is the name of the most popular folklore puppet of the Outremeuse part of Liège. Legend has it that Tchantches appeared from between two stones in the ground a long time ago (in the year 760 !). As a baby he already preferred the local gin (pekèt) over the milk his mother would give him. He stars in the puppet theaters which still give performances in Liège. This good-natured, stubborn, sometimes rebellious person symbolizes the character of the Liègeois.
