A musical tour of the two organs
Audition, a musical tour around the Abbey organ: visitors will have the chance to climb into the gallery and explore the instrument owned by the city, which has hosted prestigious organists since 2002. Guests can uncover how it works from the inside, its history, and the restorations and enlargements completed in 2019 by organ builder Saverio Girotto. Those who wish can also try their hand at the organ, regardless of experience, or have a first go at playing it.
This instrument, unusually distinctive, offers musical possibilities that are truly unique.
Indeed, it was restored and expanded in 2019, and in 2021 an organ chest (petit organ) was added, acquired by the association Les Amis de l’Orgue de Sainte-Geneviève. It sits on the floor and is mobile.
The organ chest, also known as the positive, can operate independently for a second organist, but can also be connected to the gallery organ to be played together, controlled from above or below by a single organist. It then serves a bit like a third keyboard, though positioned at a distance.
Layout of the Abbey organ (two manuals, pedalboard, gallery):
Great Organ: 16’ Bourdon, 8’ Montre, 8’ Salicional, 8’ Bourdon, 8’ Harmonic Flute, 4’ Prestant, Full Principals (3–5 ranks), 8’ Trumpet, 4-rank Cornet (Récit), 16’ Bassoon (Récit), 8’ Bassoon (Récit).

Pedal: 32’ Subbass, 16’ Bourdon (Great), 16’ Soubasse, 8’ Flute, 4’ Flute (extension of Fl.8’), 16’ Génévie (Bombarde), 8’ Trumpet, 4’ Clairon (Great), 16’ Bassoon (Récit), 8’ Bassoon (Récit), 4’ Bassoon (Récit).
