===1990s===
In 1990, Jarre released ''[[En Attendant Cousteau]]'' (''Waiting for Cousteau''), a tribute to the French oceanographer [[Jacques-Yves Cousteau]].<ref name="oxygeneconcert" /> On [[Bastille Day]] he performed a concert at [[La Défense]] in Paris, attended by a [[Guinness Book of Records|record-breaking]] audience of about two million people, again beating his earlier world record.<ref name="Matthews 1994 169">{{Harvnb|Matthews|1994|p=169}}</ref> He later promoted a concert near the Pyramids of [[Teotihuacan]] in Mexico, to be held during the [[Solar eclipse of July 11, 1991|solar eclipse of 11 July 1991]]. However, with only weeks to go, important equipment had not arrived and the sinking in the Atlantic Ocean of a cargo ship containing the purpose-built pyramidal stage and other technical and financial problems made staging the concert impossible. Jarre's disappointment was such that he "could not cope with Mexican food for two years".<ref name="Steamroller" />

About two years later he released ''[[Chronologie]]'', an album that features Jarre's traditional collection of instruments like the [[ARP 2600]] and [[Minimoog]], as well as newer synthesisers such as the [[Roland JD-800]] and the [[Kurzweil K2000]].<ref name="chronologie36152">{{Citation | title = Chronologie sleeve notes | publisher = Disques Dreyfus | year = 1993 |id=FDM 36152-2}}</ref>

{{blockquote|In the state of mind I did ''Chronologie'', it's quite close to what I did for ''Oxygène'', using a lot of the old synthesizers of the '70s, like the Moog synthesizer&nbsp;— which I consider to be the Stradivarius of electronic music&nbsp;— mixed with the digital sound and the beat of the dance scene of the '90s. In a sense, ''Chronologie'' is a kind of mixture between the sounds of the '70s and the sounds of the '90s.<ref name="youtube interview">{{Citation | title = Chronologie & Europe in Concert Interview (Part 1 of 3) – Jean-Michel Jarre | url = https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=47c3V3fYrMo | publisher = youtube.com | year = 1993 | access-date = 20 June 2009}}</ref>}}

''Chronologie'' was performed at a series of 16&nbsp;performances across Europe called ''Europe in Concert''. These were on a smaller scale than his previous concerts, featuring a miniature skyline, laser imaging and fireworks. Locations included Lausanne, Mont St Michel, London, [[Maine Road|Manchester]], Barcelona, Seville and the Versailles Palace near Paris.<ref>{{Citation|title=Europe in Concert – 1993 |url=http://www.jeanmicheljarre.com/live-o-graphy/europe-in-concert-1993 |publisher=jeanmicheljarre.com |access-date=20 June 2009 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090621091243/http://www.jeanmicheljarre.com/live-o-graphy/europe-in-concert-1993 |archive-date=21 June 2009 }}</ref> In March 1994, a concert was held in Hong Kong, to mark the opening of the city's new stadium.<ref>{{Citation | last = Holland | first = Fiona | title = Laser show wows stadium crowd | work = [[The Standard (Hong Kong)]] | date = 12 March 1994 | page = 1}}</ref>

Jarre performed many of his most well-known hits at the ''Concert for Tolerance'' on Bastille Day in 1995, celebrating the 50th anniversary of the United Nations. The [[Eiffel Tower]] was specially lit for the occasion, prompting the installation of a [[Eiffel Tower#Illumination copyright|more permanent display]].<ref>{{Citation|title=Concert For Tolerance – 1995 |url=http://www.jeanmicheljarre.com/live-o-graphy/concert-for-tolerance-1995 |publisher=jeanmicheljarre.com |access-date=23 June 2009 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090909152055/http://www.jeanmicheljarre.com/live-o-graphy/concert-for-tolerance-1995 |archive-date= 9 September 2009 }}</ref> The following December, he created the website "A Space for Tolerance", which featured music from ''En Attendant Cousteau'', played while the user browsed a variety of "visual worlds".<ref>{{Citation | last = LeGrand | first = Emmanuel | title = Jarre Creates an 'Online Space' | url = https://books.google.com/books?id=iQ8EAAAAMBAJ | page = 46 | magazine = Billboard | date = 23 March 1996 | access-date = 23 June 2009}}</ref>

Another large-scale concert followed on 31 December 1999, in the Egyptian desert near [[Giza]].

The show featured performances from more than 1,000&nbsp;local artists and musicians, and was based on ancient Egyptian mythology about the journey of the Sun and its effect upon humanity.<ref name="nytimes2000">{{Citation | last = Weber | first = Bruce | title = THE YEAR 2000: THE ENTERTAINMENT; Around the World, Ancient and Modern Creations | url = https://www.nytimes.com/2000/01/02/nyregion/the-year-2000-the-entertainment-around-the-world-ancient-and-modern-creations.html?pagewanted=2 | work = The New York Times | date = 1 February 2000 | access-date = 22 June 2009}}</ref> In 1998, British commercial broadcaster [[ITV (TV channel)|ITV]] used a remixed version of "Fourth Rendez-Vous" (called Rendez-Vous 98) for their television coverage of the [[1998 FIFA World Cup]] in France.
