Seaside Hotel
George-Albert Bordemer (son of the owner), top of the class and resourceful, shares the strangest of adventures with Rosy (daughter of the gardener), a nosy little minx -even though they have a love-hate relationship. Their hotel is often faced with the competition of Majestop, much bigger and much fancier; they thus have to rack their brains so as to lure customers.
