This organ was built by Mutin for the Touche
concert hall in Paris (1906) and transferred in
1926 to Saint-Dominique (Paris 14th). Around
1945, he was moved again, this time to Saint-
Antoine de Padua. The organ was then devoid
of its buffet, which is currently in a church in
Verdun, housing an organ of Alexis Collet.
It was restored by Olivier Chevron in 2008,
who changed the traction (which was become
electropneumatic in the past) to mechanic
and built a new case without pipes. The old
pipe case consisted of the pedal double bass
16, which is now inside on a new pedal
windchest.

The foundation stone of this parish dedicated to
St. Anthony of Padua, a disciple of St. Francis,
was laid on June 11, 1933. The blessing of the
shrine took place on September 29, 1935.
The interior plane is that of the basilicas. The
choir is dominated by a fresco, executed by the
painter Jean Bernard and inaugurated on June 5,
1948. At the entrance to the choir, St. Francis
showing the stigmas and St. Joseph presenting
the child Jesus invite the faithful to participate in
the sacrifice of Christ. Near the gates, Saint
Teresa of Lisieux and St. Anthony recall the
missionary vocation of every Christian.
Outside, a 46 m spire, flanked, at the four
cardinal points, with statues of St. Francis and St.
Clare, St. Louis and St. Elizabeth, dominates the
entire construction. Three bells were blessed on
November 27, 1938, Antoinette-Roberte (650kg)
gave the F, Marie-Thérèse (475kg) gave the G and
Claudine (325 kg) gave the A.
