It would be nice if he's going to play Chr6 with a melodica in Merzouga!

Ok that looks familiar, but very weird and stupid. What was he supposed to use it for? Chronologie 6?

He used it for the intro ("Chameaux d'air" or something titled) of Chronologie 3!

This is the one he played.
He played the intro of chrono3 with it on Mnt St. michel.
The title of the track is unknown, although later the title "Chamaudaire" surfaced.... A mixture of camel and dromedary in french.
This is sort of a funny story how that became the name though... Jarre never named the track you see...
In 1994 there was this band called (M)ercurey doing a tribute concert, and they played that intro before chrono3. Since the guys who did the projections (I'm one of them) made a seperate script for those animations we named it "cameldary" because the projections were camels and dromedaries.... (the actual filename of the script was cmldr.tss) Then few months later a video of the tribute concert was send to PPL who were involved with the concert, the name cameldary was sort of translated to french and was now called "chamaudaire" on the cover of the video.
Funny how that name keeps popping up though, thanx Christophe, I almost forgot about it
Here's the tracklist of the bootleg VCD:
