The chapel
Initially, this chapel was the private chapel of the
convent of the Daughters of Charity, built in 1815, when
their convent was established there. Following the
alleged Marian apparitions to Catherine Labouré in
1830, and with the very rapid success of the miraculous
medal from 1834, the chapel was gradually enlarged
and opened to the public, becoming an important place
of pilgrimage. Today, the chapel is visited by two
million visitors a year, making it one of the ten most
visited cultural places in Paris.
The chapel, in the Art-Nouveau style, has a
quadrangular plan consisting of a nave flanked by
simple aisles ending with a very shallow choir.
The organ
In this Marian shrine, very popular since the 19th
century, the Maison Cavaillé-Coll built an instrument
around 1880 (the archives also speak of the installation
of an organ of 12 stops in 1865 by Cavaillé - is that the
same?). He endowed the organ with a buffet inscribed
in his catalogue (number 18). Used daily, it underwent
two maintenance works in 1974 and 2006.
