Like all the districts of Paris under the Second
Empire, the District of the Monceau Plain saw its
population increase. After the Commune, a new
place of worship was raised under the
responsibility of the architect of Édouard
Delebarre de Bay. He chooses a rather stripped-
down neo-Romanesque style. The building,
dedicated to St. Francis of Sales, was blessed in
1873.
The organ was built around 1900 by Abbey. In the
middle of the 20th century, it had several
transformations by the Muller, Maciet and
Gonzalez towards neo-classical aesthetics.
In 1987, the instrument was rebuilt by the
Languedoc Manufacture of Grandes-Orgues
(Lovède).
