Produced by film and television producer Georges Campana in Studio VCF (Region Ile de France), 5, Rue Sésame, is a playful fictional series that presents educational messages in a context that is meant to be engaging and reflective of French children's daily lives. The television series is written, produced, and directed by French educators and artists. The educational focus of 5, Rue Sésame complements the national curricular approach. Messages related to the social, emotional, and physical domains of learning are particularly important in the series, and many segments also address cognitive objectives.

5, Rue Sésame, comprising 150 episodes, features the following segments: Muppet, locally-produced live action, and animation. The 4 new Muppet characters, developed specifically for the French series, include an energetic girl in a wheelchair named Griotte, who is an active participant in all the fun on the street and provides positive images of children with disabilities.

Ongoing plans for 5, Rue Sésame include programme research, as well as the development of interactive learning platforms.
