Saint-Louis d'Antin
63, rue Caumartin, 75009 Paris
C1
After the Revolution, as the church became a parish
church, it got a Dallery organ in 1811, followed by one
from John Abbey in 1839.
The current organ was built by Aristide Cavaillé-Coll in
1858. It's one of the few Cavaillé-Coll organs in Paris that
remains almost entirely in its original state.
In 1874, the 4' Flute was replaced by a Voix Céleste.
1973
Overhaul by Danion-Gonzalez:
•

•

to 56 keys (though not connected to the windchests).
•
Storm pedal removed.
1989-2014
Work by Bernard Dargassies.
Saint-Louis-d'Antin Church was originally built in
1780-1782 on the orders of King Louis XVI as a
chapel for a Capuchin convent. After the Revolution,
it became a parish church in 1802. The rest of the
convent buildings were turned into a school (now
Lycée Condorcet). Today, it's one of Paris's busiest
parishes, with as many as seven weekday Masses.
