known simply as
Les Invalides
The dome is recognized on the Paris landscape
but interior is stunning
The organ was build between 1679 and 1687 by the royl organ builder, Alexandre Thierry.
Wear and tear, including war, could have left this organ in a sad state.
Repairs and rebuilding have brought this magnificent organ to its full potential.

That is a beautiful organ and I am sure the sound is the same. I love it when organs play, sometimes they just make me cry.
