Mijn Franse tante Gazeuse is a 1997 Dutch film directed by Joram Lürsen and Ben Sombogaart.
The village of Droogbaak where Katootje Tekelenburg lives has been declared the neatest in the country. The queen has decided to visit this village. The mayor proposes her to visit the neatest house in the town. Katootje's house and that of her neighbor qualify for this because they are the tidiest inhabitants. Katootje's father does everything in his power to win the prize, and at that moment he thinks of nothing else, much to the annoyance of his wife and daughter. The announced visit of her French Aunt Gazeuse with her fiancé O.J. aan de Loire causes her father to become even more nervous. This gets worse when Katootje says she would like a pet, preferably a rabbit, for her eighth birthday. Since her father won't let her do this, she decides to keep the rabbit secretly. She hides it in the statue in the village square. The battle for the village's neatest resident is rather complicated by all these circumstances, both for father Tekelenburg and for neighbor Van Zanten.
