Presentation
Classified as "Monuments Historiques", they were built from the end of 1668 to the beginning of 1670 in 1668 by the Flemish organ builder Charles Royer; Originally the instrument had only one manual and ten stops (pedalboard in drawbar)
The walnut case (1668/1669) was gilded in 1756 by Borrelly of Marseille. The builders Gazeau and Bormes (1801/1811) made the instrument with two manuals. The organ has 23 stops and about 1200 pipes. 80% of the 1668/1670 stops and 88% of the 1801/1811 stops are preserved. The case was classified as a historic monument in 1970 and the pipework in 1972. The transmission is entirely mechanical, with a window console. The organs were restored in 1988/1990 and 2017.
