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 (the highest an 8 from Bosnia-Herzegovina – who had voted by jury rather than televote), placing France 18th of the 26 entries. The 12 points from the French televote were awarded to Belgium.[1] France automatically qualified for the grand final of the 2004 Contest; as part of the "Big Four".

gollark: Anyway, beyond FTS, I have some ideas, no idea whether I will ever actually get round to them: Extra Markdown syntax extensions for useful features I want; tracking of page interlinks (including contextual links) and building a cool graph visualization; file attachment; a web clipper; keyboard shortcuts.
gollark: They have better IDE support, for one thing.
gollark: Yes, I find that it helps to use languages which exist.
gollark: As I may have said possibly, I'll implement full text search next probably.
