The film opens with a young Becassine (Kelly Marot) living in a small village in Brittany. She is naive and clumsy, but she has a heart of gold. She dreams of one day becoming a nanny to a wealthy family. Her dream comes true when she meets the Marquise de Grand Air (Véronique Soufflet), who is looking for a nanny for her young daughter Charlotte (Jean-Jacques Nervest). Becassine's simplicity and sincerity impress the Marquise, and she is hired on the spot.

Becassine's journey to Paris is an eventful one. She meets a young boy named Corentin (Guillaume Orsat) on the train who is also travelling to Paris to meet his father. Becassine and Corentin become fast friends and embark on a series of misadventures together. They are joined by an eccentric inventor named Constant (Philippe Gildas), who creates all sorts of wacky contraptions that become helpful to Becassine and Corentin in their adventures.

Once in Paris, Becassine meets the Marquise's sister, Loulotte (Zabou Breitman), who is an eccentric artist married to a wealthy banker named Monsieur Lepic (Gilbert Levy). Loulotte takes a liking to Becassine and asks her to model for her paintings. However, Becassine's lack of sophistication and Loulotte's avant-garde art style create chaos and misunderstandings.
