Europe In Concert

In 1993, Jean-Michel Jarre embarked on his first tour, named "Europe in Concert". The tour took him to most of Europe, except Scandinavia. It was sponsored by Swatch, who had collaborated with Jarre the previous year. The first concert was held on the tidal island of Mont Saint Michel in France. Laser beams and lights were projected onto the buildings on the island, and the stage was placed in front of the island itself during low tide. The stage and scenery for the tour were designed to look like a miniature city skyline, which Jarre transported across the continent.

The tour also coincided with the release of Jarre's first studio album in three years, Chronologie. This new composition was central to the tour's repertoire. In total, the tour was seen by 650,000 people.
