Meet Coco & Piaf
Coco the frog and Piaf the bird are two friends who explore France and the French-speaking world through stories, games and interactive adventures.
Two friends. Two very different ways of exploring the world.
Coco
Coco follows his instincts. He’s curious, enthusiastic and always ready to try something new — and quite likely to get into a little trouble along the way.
Two personalities, one adventure
Piaf
Piaf likes to know where he’s going. He studies the map, plans ahead and makes sure he’s prepared for whatever the adventure might bring.
Instinct meets a plan. And the adventure begins.
Every adventure starts somewhere
A Coco et Piaf adventure always takes place somewhere real and identifiable — a city, a region, a monument, a museum or another cultural place.
It can happen today or in the past, close to home or even in space, taking off from French Guiana.
The place is never just a backdrop. Coco and Piaf explore it, interact with it, taste it, play with it and discover the stories it has to tell.
There is usually something to do
Sometimes there is a mission. Sometimes the adventure is simply about experiencing something new.
Find ingredients hidden around Marseille to make a bouillabaisse.
Help Coco find his colour by meeting animals of different colours.
Follow a map to find something hidden.
Go surfing in the Basque Country.
Never just watching
A Coco et Piaf adventure invites children to take part. They answer, search, sing, move, choose, create and help the characters along the way. Participation can happen on screen, in a workshop, through a game, during a live experience — or with a pencil and a piece of paper.
Children don't just watch the adventure. They live it.
The adventure can travel with them
Coco et Piaf is designed to move naturally between stories, play and real-world experiences. Children can draw the characters, print them, turn them into puppets or continue the adventure away from the screen.
For children visiting the French Consulate in Buenos Aires, we created activity booklets in the form of a playful passport. Through games and activities inspired by the Adventures of Coco et Piaf, children discover different places across France as they complete their passport.

Made to be made again
The Coco et Piaf visual world is deliberately simple. The lines are imperfect, colours sometimes spill beyond the edges and nothing feels too polished to reproduce.
Children should feel that Coco and Piaf belong in their world too — something they can draw, cut out, print, turn into puppets and reinvent at home.
A discovery. An experience. Something to take away.
Every adventure opens a window onto a place, a culture or a different way of seeing the world. And behind the fun, there is often something simple that stays with the child — friendship, sharing, curiosity, tolerance or the joy of discovering something new.
