It was here also that the magnificent organs of the Basilica of St Denis, Perpignan Cathedral and even Notre-Dame were built.<\/p>\n<p>The great organ of Bougival is composed of a total of 1216 pipes spanning a width of 5.50\u00a0m, with a depth of 1.84\u00a0m and a height extending up to 6 metres.<\/p>\n<p>Cavaill\u00e9-Coll was in fact the most distinguished organ-builder of the 19th century and his international reputation still exerts its influence over the profession even today.<\/p>\n<p>Completed in 1905, our organ was bought by the Protestant Consistory of Paris with the intention of adorning the concert hall of the Young Men&#8217;s Christian Association.<\/p>\n<p>In 1945, it was resold to the Catholic Parish of Bougival, which wanted to replace its little old organ that had been damaged in an explosion. Bougival&#8217;s parish priest, Canon Journet, appealed to the inhabitants&#8217; generosity and the 400,000 francs raised by this fund made this prestigious purchase possible.<\/p>\n<p>The huge instrument was then installed in March 1946 by the organ builder Paul Marie Koenig. He was the last specialist to provide it with such thorough care.<\/p>\n<p>Since 1998, the parishioners have joined forces with a view to restoring this historical instrument. Their commitment and the rich legacy represented by the instrument were recognised in 2008 when the great organ of Bougival was listed as a historical monument.<\/p>\n<p>To ensure that this masterpiece is not forgotten, the Heritage Foundation, Bougival Town Hall and Friends of the Organ invite you to safeguard Bougival&#8217;s great organ by making a donation for the restoration of this magnificent instrument.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The prestigious history of Bougival&#8217;s great organ began when it was built in the workshops of the famous firm of Cavaill\u00e9-Coll, which was then in the hands of his successor Charles Mutin.
