Église Saint-Antoine-des-Quinze-Vingts
the primary organ
This great organ comes from the instrument built
by the renown Aristide Cavaille-Coll in 1894 for the mansion of Baron Espée.
It was moved from the Baron's residence on
Avenue Bois de Boulogne to Saint-Antoine in 1909.
You can click here to listen to a short piece on this organ.
Like many churches, there is a second organ,
a practice organ for the choir, which I will show you another time.

Une très belle église...

Yes, it is such a pleasure to enter one of those churches and listen the organist to practice. A treat! You do know how to enjoy life.
I like the lighting.
The guy on the back pew must have arrived early for the concert. :-)
A magnificent sanctuary!
