The 15-minute weekday program was broadcast on the English television network to provide viewers with exposure to the French language.
Other cast members were Madeline Kronby who portrayed the bilingual Louise, and a mouse puppet named Suzie who generally spoke English.
In terms of children's series, the program remained popular in its final season, with a reported 437,000 viewers recorded by BBM in November 1972.
But CBC executives cancelled the series, claiming that it had run its course, and that the network's broadcasts of Sesame Street would incorporate five minutes of French-language segments per episode.
