Built by architect Pierre Gauthier from 1846 to 1854, Lariboisière obeyed all contemporary imperatives of health and convenience. Six pavilions, three for men, three for women, are arranged symmetrically along a rectangular courtyard. The architecture of the Lariboisière Hospital was an international success for its hygienist qualities. This pavilion plan was taken up throughout Europe and as far as the USA. The chapel houses the funerary monument of Countess Elisa de Lariboisière (1794-1851). In her will, she left most of her fortune for the foundation of the hospital that bears her name.

l’Hôpital Lariboisière

2, rue Ambroise-Paré, 75010 Paris
E6 The instrument was built by Suret in 1855, as evidenced by a label stuck in the background of the pallet box: "Suret, 117 Faubourg Saint-Martin, builder of Great Organs of The Church and Accompanying Organs for choirs, Paris, 1855." Around 1950, Gutschenritter installed an electric fan and changed the stoplist. In 1973, Swiderski, assisted by a certain Camus (organist of St Vincent de Paul), made profound changes to its harmony. It was also envisaged to complete the 30-note Pedal. This work was never done.
