The organ is signed by John Abbey (1785-1859) and
dated 1845. According to Yves Fossaert, the design
of this Abbey is indeed very "classic French" (pipes
cut to the tone), as it was still practiced at the
beginning of the 19th century - and so, in terms of
instrumental aesthetics, this Abbey sounds.

Henri-IV High School is a public secondary and
higher education institution renowned for its
excellent results. It is also listed as a historical
monument for some of its buildings inherited
from the former abbey of Sainte-Geneviève,
which date from the 12th to the 18th century:
cloister, Clovis tower (former bell tower), chapel
(former refectory), Medal room (former cabinet of
curiosities). Renovation work carried out around
1996 uncovered remnants of the Carolingian
period.
