E5This 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 restored by Olivier Chevron in 2008, who rebuilt the instrument in 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 bed bases have been restored and waterproofed. The frame, the wind-carriers, the windchests of the pedal sets are new. The old pipes were reused, but the organ also gained four new stops. Source: Xavier Lebrun.

The foundation stone of this parish dedicated to St. Anthony of Padua, a disciple of St. Francis, was laid on June 11, 1933. The blessing of the shrine took place on September 29, 1935. The interior plane is that of the basilicas. The choir is dominated by a fresco, executed by the painter Jean Bernard and inaugurated on June 5, 1948. At the entrance to the choir, St. Francis showing the stigmas and St. Joseph presenting the child Jesus invite the faithful to participate in the sacrifice of Christ. Near the gates, Saint Teresa of Lisieux and St. Anthony recall the missionary vocation of every Christian.Outside, a 46 m spire, flanked, at the four cardinal points, with statues of St. Francis and St. Clare, St. Louis and St. Elizabeth, dominates the entire construction. Three bells were blessed on November 27, 1938, Antoinette-Roberte (650kg) gave the F, Marie-Thérèse (475kg) gave the G and Claudine (325 kg) gave the A. Source
