 Thus Nargeot wrote many songs, tunes, quadrilles, rondes, inserted in these plays, especially in the "Tricorne enchanté" by Théophile Gautier (1845) and "Le Lion empaillé" by Léon Gozlan (1848).Some of these pages were real successes.In 1853, Nargeot left the Variétés and joined as violist the orchestra of the Imperial Chapelle that Napoléon III had just reopened.
