Saint Éloi
3, place Maurice-de-Fontenay, 75012 Paris
In 1856, a first church dedicated to Saint Éloi was
erected in the Reuilly district. A second church, with
a wooden ceiling, succeeded it in 1880. It was to be
provisional but lasted until the construction of the
current church, consecrated in 1968. The architect
Marc Leboucher uses metal as a symbol of Saint
Éloi, patron saint of goldsmiths and metallurgists.

The instrument was built between 1967 and 1970 by Kurt
Schwenkedel of Strasbourg-Koenigshoffen. The latter reused
much of the sound material of the previous instrument that
had been built by Mutin in 1910, for the old church (revoiced by
the Steinmetz brothers).
Following the great heat wave of summer 2003, the organ was
restored by Swidersky.
The piping is placed in two oak buffets (Grand-Orgue placed
flush with the tribune, Pedal and Swell in the large buffet). The
separate console is facing the altar.
