Chapelle de

Notre Dame d'espérance

(Chapelle de maison mère des religieuses franciscaines) 31, Rue Dombasle, 75015 Paris

E6 It is possible that the organ is built by Puget (about 1910), but there are very few things know. It is likely that the transformations including the façade are done by Beuchet- Debierre (Picaud, 1959). In 1972, the organ was changed by Jean Jonet and his successor Jean-Claude Alcouffe. The organ was dismantled and reassembled in 2017 by Yves Fossaert, because of the restoration of the chapel. This organ probably had a mechanical Bourdon 16 ' (pedal), probably in the rear. When it was reassembled in Paris, the pedal was made pneumatical, and then electrified by Jonnet. In 2017, Yves Fossaert restored the wind chests and made new mechanics for the pedal by removing all electrical additions. Curiously, the Bourdon 8 ' of the GO is in its first octave a 8 ' wooden open flute. Thanks to the organ builder Yves Fossaert for this information.

The chapel was built between 1895 and 1896 under the direction of the architect Rapine. Developments in 1965 inside the chapel made disappear nave tribunes, the old high altar and furniture.
