Passe-Partout (French: [pɑːspaʁtu]; lit. '"skeleton key" or "all-purpose"') was a Canadian French-language children's television program funded by the Quebec ministry of education and produced by Radio-Québec (later Télé-Québec) from 1977 to 1992. It was revived in 2019 with a new cast[1] and cancelled once more in August 2024. The show, which also aired on Radio-Canada and TVOntario,[2] had a duration of thirty minutes per episode and included both live actors and puppets, though there was no interaction between the two.
