The former choir organ was built between 1894 and
1895 by Bonneau and Béasse. It originally had ten
stops divided over two manuals of 54 keys each and a
German-style pedalboard of 30 notes. The whole
instrument, fully enclosed and expressive, was housed
in a neo-Gothic case without façade pipes, except for
the shutters of the swell box visible on the front. In
1955, the organ was sold and later reassembled by
Joseph Beuchet in the church of Saint-Pair in Ducey
(Manche).
The present choir organ was built by Philippe
Hartmann in 1966, and the shutters of the case were
painted by Roger Chapelet, official painter of the
French Navy (and father of Francis Chapelet). Originally,
it was a small baroque-style positive with seven stops
on a single manual and a permanently coupled
pedalboard. It was restored and enlarged by
Dominique Lalmand in 1996, who added two pedal
stops placed in a separate case behind the organ.
