E3 In 1933, Albert Alain was called to develop a project to build two organs: a large organ located above the portal of the church and a choir organ (the current organ) located above the west ambulatory. Due to lack of funds, only the small organ was built in 1934 by Gloton-Debierre. 1968 Beuchet-Debierre made several changes, particularly in Stoplist: At the Grand-Orgue, removal of the Bourdon 16'. The first 30 notes were however reused to serve as a 16' Soubasse independent of the Pedal. On the upper bord left vacant by the Bourdon 16', Beuchet- Debierre installed the Plein Jeu IIIrgs du Récit, which was increased by one rank. On the Swell, installation of an IVrgs Cymbale on the upper board left free by the Plein Jeu. At the console, the flat pedalboard is replaced by a concave pedalboard. 1985 Jean-Marc Cicchero restored the instrument and made some modifications: On the Great Organ, the Bourdon 16' was removed. However, the first 30 notes were reused to create an independent Soubasse 16' for the Pedal. On the windchest left vacant by the Bourdon 16', Beuchet-Debierre installed the Récit Plein Jeu III ranks, which was expanded by one rank. On the Récit, a Cymbale IV ranks was added on the windchest freed by the Plein Jeu. At the console, the flat pedalboard was replaced with a concave one. 1984 Restoration and modifications by Jean-Marc Cicchéro.: At the Grand-Orgue, suppression of the 8' flute. Installation of the 8' Bourdon on the upper board left vacant by the 8' Flute. On the upper board left free by the Bourdon 8', installation of a Cornet IIIrgs: the Nazard 2 2/3' comes from the Récit, the Quarte 2' and the Tierce 1 3/5' are new. Modification of the Plein Jeu of the Grand-Orgue. On the Récit, a Doublette 2' is installed in place of Nazard 2 2/3'. The Cymbale is recomposed. At the Pedal, addition of a new 4' Flute, on a complementary windchest.
