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.

I can imagine it would sound as wonderful as it looks Genie, especially with the acoustics in the cathedral.

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.
A classical organ like this is a true gem, glad that someone cared to put it in good shape!
God bless you!

Stunning is the truth! This white and gold interior makes it perfect for a wedding ...
I always think of this as Napoleon's Tomb. But, I guess id was a cathedral many many yrs before that! Love the gold and white!
I'll bet they sound great.
