Chapelle de Jésus Enfant
(Chapelle des catéchismes de la paroisse Sainte-Clotilde) 29, Rue Las Cases, 75007 Paris
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 the following decades, several interventions were carried out by
Cavaillé-Coll (1863), Mutin (1912) and Gutschenritter (1945).
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. Seven stops are from Cavaillé-Coll.
