The ‘Chapelle de Jésus-Enfant’ was built
between 1878 and 1881 by the architect
Hippolyte Destailleur at the initiative of
Abbot Hamelin, first Rector of the
Basilica of Sainte-Clotilde, to
accommodate the children of the
Catechism. The Chapel is therefore also
called ‘Chapelle des catéchismes’. Its
style is English neo-Gothic.

The organ was built originally by Cavaillé-Coll as the
choir organ of St Roch (Paris I) and was shown at the
Exposition of 1839. It was bought by the Lutherian
church Temple des Billettes (Paris IV) in 1842. In 1988,
the organ was moved to the Chapelle de Jésus-Enfant by
Jean Renaud from Nantes, who rebuilt the instrument in
a new, neo-gotic case designed by the architect Mouffle.
All mechanics are new, only for the stop-mechanics
some older materials were used. All stops are old, with
the exception of the Octavin 2' of the Swell.
