The choir organ was built by Cavaillé-Coll in 1874, replacing an organ
from 1858 built by the same builder. This instrument, from the series
"number 18" of the catalog of the House Cavaillé-Coll has remained
almost entirely intact to this day.
In 1932, it was overhauled by Paul-Marie Kœnig. Installation of a new
30-note pedalboard with 2 drawbars of 30 notes as well. To do this, the
two satellite boxes were installed around the small console of Cavaillé-
Coll.
Two pedal stops: Soubasse 16' and Bourdon 8' (borrowed from the 16'
Bourdon). To put the register gauges, Kœnig drilled the Cavaillé-Coll
cartridge! The pedalboard is offset...
In 1986, restoration by Jacques Barberis (in fact his successor Jean-
Pierre Swiderski): the organ was moved to its current location, to the
left of the choir. Before, he was in the middle of the choir. Installation
of a fan, installation and voicing of 56 pipes of the Plein-jeu in 70%
pewter (which had been stolen!).
