For the most part, characters in 5, Rue Sésame are unique to the series.

The show follows the original Sesame Street format, in which the extended storyline (known as "a Street scene") continues throughout the show, in four parts.

Twenty songs are featured in this season, ten of which are exclusive to the show. The music is composed by Madeleine Going with lyrics by D’Alexandra Pic.

Each episode includes a 1:30 segment featuring sign language, exercise segments around the country, and Le monde de Nac, which uses the international films from the American Global Grover series.La lettre du jour (Letter of the Day) with Cookie Monster and Prairie Dawn is dubbed and shown on 5, Rue Sésame, as well as Le chiffre du jour (Number of the Day), with Comte von Compte (Count von Count).
