10:00 p.m.: The mechanical carillon sets its 13 bells in motion in the reception hall.
10:15 p.m.: Concert hall, the automatic pianos start up one after the other, followed by the orchestrions, then the string instruments and suddenly they are all playing together!!
10:45 p.m.: Crossing the Imperial Gallery among the crazy barrel organs.
11:00 p.m.: Fairground Hall, the fairground and street organs will play their music one after the other, then all in chorus in a terrible cacophony...
11:30 p.m.: At the Cabaret-Guinguette, we can listen in turn to the dance organs, the limonaires, the player pianos and there again all these amazing people will mutiny and make their music resound in a deafening din.
11:45 p.m.: Evacuation to Place Limonaire in the still calm night, but not for long. Suddenly the Mécanophone arrives for a little concert with great sound (its music carries up to 8km), accompanied by a friendly drink.
