ORGANS OF PARIS © 2023 Vincent Hildebrandt ALL ORGANS
This organ has a long history. It was built for the Collégiale
Saint-Benoît-le-Bétourné and transported to Saint-Jacques-
du-Haut-Pas by Claude-Francois Clicquot in 1792. Its case
contains parts of the original organ built by Jean Langhedul
(1587). Therefore, this organ has the oldest still visible case-
parts of all organs in Paris! The positif goes back to 1640 and
the main concept of the GO to 1655. The extension of the
GO dates from 1792. The instrument was reconstructed in
1887 by Merklin, with one consoe for both the GO and the
choirorgan (!).
In 1971, Alfred Kern built a new instrument in a French-
German classical style (with the organ of the Saint-Séverin
finished in 1964 as example) in a reconstructed organcase,
re-using some of the old stops (3 stops are from before the
revolution, 11 stops from Merklin).
