The Chapel
The origin of Notre-Dame de Bon Secours dates back
to 1868, when Father Carton founded the Notre-Dame
de Bon Secours asylum. The sisters of Sainte-Marie,
then the Augustine sisters since 1908, have welcomed
and cared for the elderly and orphans. Over the years,
the asylum gradually became a full-fledged hospital.
The organ
It is an instrument built around 1850 by an unknown
builder. It is nevertheless mentioned as a work by
Aristide Cavaillé-Coll by his daughter Cecile. Some
sources also attribute the instrument to Suret. The
neo-Gothic oak buffet has two flat turrets, which frame
a series of 6 flat faces that follow the curves of the
rosette. The instrument ‘s design is a good example of
the organ building before 1860: it is equipped with a
single wind chest (GO at the front, REC at the back) and
the Cor Anglais has free reeds .
