Saint-Laurent was founded in the 6th century as the chapel of an abbey. The present church dates to 1429, but was not completed until the 19th century. The nave and the choir date from the XV to the XVII centuries and are in the flamboyant gothic style, with additional classical elements. The portal of the main entry was reconstructed during the XIX century in a neogothic style (due to the construction of the boulevard de Magenta and the boulevard de Strasbourg). The tower dates to the previous church.

Photo GO: Jeroen de Haan Photos below: Victor Weller The organ is built by Francois and Hippolyte Du Castel (1682-1685). The positif could be made by Germain Pilon. This instrument had an unique pedal of 41 notes. In 1767, François-Henri Clicquot rebuilt the instrument. In 1864, after the restauration of the church, the organcase was reinstalled on a new gallery and Merklin completely rebuilt the organ. Jacquot-Lavergne modified and extended the instrument in 1942. In 1993, a restauration was carried out by Jean Renaud to restore the concept of Merklin. 20 stops date from before the revolution. Similar to the organs at St. Roch and St. Germain-de- l’Auxerrois, this organ has two faces: a classical face and a 19th century-face. Site of the organ
