This organ was built by Mutin for the Touche concert hall
in Paris (1906) and transferred in 1926 to Saint-
Dominique (Paris 14th). Around 1945, he was moved
again, this time to Saint-Antoine de Padua. The organ
was then devoid of its buffet, which is currently in a
church in Verdun, housing an organ of Alexis Collet. It
was also electrified and the Great Organ made
expressive.
It was restored by Olivier Chevron in 2008, who rebuilt
the instrument to mechanical action with a new case
without façade pipes (designed and built by Olivier
Chevron) adapted to the style of our church. The old pipe
front consisted of the 16 pedal double bass, which is now
inside on a new pedal chest.
The original windchests have been restored and made
airtight. The frame, the wind-carriers, the windchests of
the pedal sets are new. The old pipes were re-used, but
the organ was also extended with four new stops.

The foundation stone of this parish, dedicated to St.
Anthony of Padua—a disciple of St. Francis—was laid on
11 June 1933. The church was blessed on 29 September
1935.
The interior follows the plan of a basilica. The choir is
dominated by a fresco painted by Jean Bernard and
inaugurated on 5 June 1948. At the entrance to the choir,
St. Francis, showing his stigmata, and St. Joseph,
presenting the Child Jesus, invite the faithful to take part in
the sacrifice of Christ. Near the entrance, St. Thérèse of
Lisieux and St. Anthony recall the missionary vocation of
every Christian.
Outside, a 46‑metre spire rises above the building, flanked
at the four cardinal points by statues of St. Francis and St.
Clare, and St. Louis and St. Elizabeth. Three bells were
blessed on 27 November 1938: Antoinette‑Roberte (650
kg) sounding the F, Marie‑Thérèse (475 kg) the G, and
Claudine (325 kg) the A.
