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.

photo GO: Jeroen de Haan; other photos: Victor Weller 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.
