On the night of the final Baïleche performed 19th in the running order, following Norway and preceding Poland. Although not dissimilar in style and structure to the previous year's "Il faut du temps", "Monts et merveilles" fared less well and at the close of voting had picked up only 19 points, placing France 18th of the 26 entries. The 12 points from the French televote were awarded to Belgium. France automatically qualified for the grand final of the 2004 Contest; as part of the "Big Four".
