Old french textbook

Help me find this old book please
So in 1983 I had a French textbook and it was as follows-
It was blue in color and was about a young couple and their two kids moving to France. Each chapter was about them encountering life in France (visiting the Patisserie, the Boulangier etc and it had a section of questions and grammar at the end) It also had illustrations and I LOVED this book. I wish I had kept my copy but didn't so now I am looking to find it again. ( I am not 100% sure but it might have been published by Alliance de France). I want it back for pure nostalgic reasons but also because it was the best textbook on French that I can remember 😊
Thanks

Might have been Tricolore (link to google image search in case any of the covers jogs a memory)? My school was still using them in the late 90s/early 00s but mostly I remember a lot of Orangina, not any particular story about a family.

Possibly La famille Marsaud? I started studying French at school at around the same time and they were quite popular (at least in the UK).
La famille.
Mumsnet thread about them.
