The organ of Saint-François-de-Molitor is a second-hand
instrument of the builder Detlef Kleuker. It comes from the
chapel of a hospital in Heidelberg. Dismantled and restored
by Christophe Cailleux, many modifications were necessary
to adapt it to the church of St François de Molitor (interior
layout, wind circuit, replacement of mechanical traction by
electric traction, the addition of stops, the rearrangement
on the windchests).
The console located on the tribune to the left of the organ,
is an old Allen console, adapted by Christophe Cailleux who
equipped it with an electronic combinator with 4096
combinations. Voicing was done by Michel Gaillard.
The present church, planned by Cardinal Lustiger
within the framework of the Chantiers du Cardinal,
replaces a small chapel adjacent to a Capuchin
convent. Consecrated in 2005, it was designed by the
architect Jean‑Marie Duthilleul.
