Choir organ GO>

C1 1867 The choir organ, originally placed on the right transept gallery, was built by Cavaillé‑Coll and Cie, who installed it on the right transept gallery on 7 November 1867, the day the church was blessed. 1892 At the request of the choirmaster, Cavaillé‑Coll replaced the Récit’s Voix humaine stop with an 8′ Cor de nuit. 1901 Its combination pedals were overhauled by Merklin‑Gutschenritter. The spoon‑lever expression was replaced by a rocker‑pedal. The thunder pedal was removed, and two spoons were installed for the “call” and “release” of the 16′ Bourdon and Plein Jeu II–IV registers. 1983 Following the Second Vatican Council, this organ was moved to the left side of the nave by Olivier Glandaz and François Sebire. 1992 Overhaul by Sebire-Glandaz.

An anecdote tells that Charles-Alexis Chauvet (or Michel Chapuis?), who regularly came to play the masses, had fun moving between the great organ and the choir organ ... by bicycle between the different moments of Mass and to the great astonishment of the faithful!
