C1The choir organ was built by Aristide Cavaillé-Coll in 1865 for the salon of Baron d'Erlanger (Opus 250-229). It was offered to the city of Paris in 1927 by the son of the baron, then reassembled at the chapel of the Sorbonne by Convers-Cavaillé-Coll with the addition of a pedal extended to 30 notes and made independent by pneumatic traction. In 1987, this organ was installed in Saint-Jacques-du-Haut-Pas by Jean Renaud in place of the old choir organ (Merklin 1889, dismantled and installed in the church of Sainte-Geneviève de Rosny-sous-Bois (93) where it still stands), at the end of the south arm of the transept. The organ is still in its original state.
