The Saint-Michel church houses an organ dating from 1871 and built by Louis Mitchell (1823-1902), reputed organ builder and leader in the building of mechanical organs. The instrument has remained untouched except for the hand blowers that were replaced by an electric blower in 1909. The instrument is fully functional and is a great source of pleasure for music lovers.
