Saint Jean Baptiste was built in 1831 in a neoclassical
style.
The Great Organ was built in 1873 by Eugène et John
Abbey in an older case. In 1904, Charles Mutin did some
maintenance works and modified the organ slightly.
Between 1937-38 the house Pleyel replaced the
transmissions. In 1971, the organ was reconstructed by
Jean Bourgarel, who ireplaced some romantic stops with
mutations; the rees of the Récit were removed as were all
the mechnaical parts and manuals. A électropneumatic
system was installed with a new console. In 1992, Jean-
Marc Swiderski partly electrified this instrument.
In 2023, the German organ builder Gerhard Grenzing has
been selected to carry out the restoration and
enlargement of the Abbey organ. Grenzing proceeded to
the complete dismantling of the instrument in June 2023
and transport the instrument to his workshops.
The main lines of the project are:
(1) To preserve, restore and enhance the buffet with the
removal of lateral additions.
(2) To restore the keyboards of "Grand-orgue" and "Récit
expressif" by the Abbey brothers.
(3) To extend the Pedal to 32 notes.
(4) To add a new sound plan "Grand-chorus expressive"
on a new windchest, placed on the rear upper tribune
with its wind power supply complement.
(5) Install a new electric transmission, a new console with
three keyboards and pedalboard with a computer.
