St-Gervais-St-Protais is one of the oldest places of
worship in Paris (6th century) and among the first
parochial churches of 'la rive droite'. The present
church was built in the 16-17th century, in
Flamboyant Gothic style, with other styles
superimposed. Its frontage was completed in 1620
(first example of the classical style in Paris). Today St-
Gervais-St-Protais is the house of the Monastic and
Lay Communities of Jerusalem.

The organ at St Gervais is one of the oldest of Paris. It
was built by Francois-Henri Clicquot, who used parts of
the former organ. Most of the 41 stops are old, which is
extraordinary for a Parisian organ. 17 are from the 17th
century (e.g. the voix humaine of Pescheur) , 15 from
the 18th century, including all reeds. Only five stops
were reconstructed in 1974. In addition, all wind-chests
date from before the revolution.
