What happens

Fais pas ci, fais pas ça (French: [fɛ pa si fɛ pa sa]; lit. 'Don't do this, don't do that') is a French television series created by Anne Giafferi and Thierry Bizot for France Télévisions, starring Valérie Bonneton, Isabelle Gélinas, Bruno Salomone and Guillaume de Tonquédec. The comedy series debuted on 8 September 2007 on France 2; after nine seasons, the final episode aired on 22 February 2017. In 2020 and 2024, two additional special episodes aired in December for the Christmas season. The series is set in the Parisian suburb of Sèvres, following two neighbouring families raising their children, one conservatively (Lepic), one liberally (Bouley). The series was met with wide popular success and critical acclaim, reaching cult status in France. Ahead of the last episode airing, Le Monde wrote "it will not be easy to say goodbye."
