==Characters==
For the most part, characters in 5, Rue Sésame are unique to the series.
Muppets
* Nac is a giant yellow monster, who's 2.2 meters tall. Nac fills the Big Bird role as the mascot of the show, and he shares Big Bird's sunny and gentle disposition.
* Griotte is a Lavender Anything Muppet girl in a wheelchair. Her puppet is the same design used for Roxie Marie, a now retired Sesame Street character.
* Yoyo is an orange monster with a tall head. He's very emotional and anxious, but he loves people and makes friends easily.
* Olive is a green, furry monster who's the firecracker on the street—naughty, fearless and always laughing.
* Elmo is a friend from the American Sesame Street—at 3-and-a-half years old, he's the youngest Muppet on the show.
* Georges the Penguin arrived on Rue Sésame inside an ice cube, and soon made friends with the other residents.
Humans
* Titouan is a retired older dad.
* Baya is the baker on the Street—she's confident and optimistic.
* Juliette is a young student who works at the newsstand.
The series was a regional semi-finalist for the 2006 International Emmy Awards, up against Plaza Sésamo.
