, and all their parents travel to Paris to take a vacation at the park.
Coco LaBouche, EuroReptarland's director, seeks to become the head of Reptarland's company after the current president Mr. Yamaguchi resigns but learns she will need "the heart of a child" to earn the job. Upon the Rugrats' arrival in EuroReptarland, Angelica meets Coco and suggests she marry Chaz, offering to help in return for getting her own parade in the park. Coco strikes up a relationship with Chaz but her attempts to bond with Chuckie fall flat. The babies meet Kimi Watanbe
and her mother Kira, who originate from Japan. Kira works as Coco's assistant and helps her to win Chaz's affections. Meanwhile, Spike gets lost in the streets of Paris and falls in love with a stray poodle
named Fifi.
Kira tells the babies the in-universe origins of Reptar, explaining he was a feared angry monster until a princess revealed his gentler side to make the frightened humans like him. Chuckie decides the princess should be his new mother, and is aided by his friends to reach an animatronic replica of the princess in the park, but they are stopped by Coco's ninja
security guards. Angelica informs Coco of Chuckie's wish, so Coco sneaks into the stage production of Reptar and takes the stage as the princess, luring Chuckie into her arms to make it look like she is wonderful with children. Chaz is thrilled deciding she would make an excellent mother and decides to marry her, much to everyone's surprise.
On the wedding day, Coco shows her true colours, trapping the children in a warehouse with her aid Jean Claude as their guard and fires Kira after she learns of Coco's plans. Chuckie rallies the children to crash Chaz's wedding using the Reptar robot. They are chased by Jean Claude who pilots the Robosnail robot, Reptar's nemesis, until they fight on a bridge and Chuckie knocks Robosnail into the Seine
river. Chaz's wedding in Notre Dame proves to be quite horrendous, with Coco rushing the vicar until she completely loses her temper and throws the Bible
at him. Chuckie crashes the wedding, screaming "NO!" which Chaz identifies as Chuckie's first English word; since to the adults, the babies are speaking babytalk. Angelica spills the beans to Mr. Yamaguchi and Chaz about Coco, who is fired and flees the cathedral with Jean Claude, chased by Spike and Fifi.
Chaz and Kira fall in love and get married upon returning to America, Chuckie now having a new mother but a new sister in the form of Kimi, completing one of Rugrats longest-running storylines.
