About Les 100 tours de Centour
The main goal of Les 100 tours de Centour was to help kids learn French. Verbo, the good genie, used magic in a special way. When he needed to do a trick, he would ask his magical item, "Memo," for a secret phrase. This phrase was always like "it is a [thing], it is an [object], it is the [thing] of the [object]." Then, Verbo would close his eyes and repeat the phrase. He would ask the children watching at home to do it too!
Centour, the tricky genie, also used magic. He would say similar phrases while shaking his fancy wristband. It looked like a big, shiny watch.
Verbo's friend was a young boy named Picot Cotton. Centour often played tricks on Picot's family.
