St. Joseph-Artisan Church is located on the site of an
old chapel built in 1850 by a Jesuit mission to bring
German-speaking immigrant workers spiritual support
and support for integration into French society. It was
replaced in 1865 by a church built with mainly German
and Austrian donations. In 1925, the church was
transferred to a congregation of priests close to the
world of work, and thus it became a parish under the
name "St. Joseph Artisan".
With the exception of the stained glass windows of the
choir and the aisles, the interior is illuminated by large
windows made of stained glass with fairly clear
geometric patterns that ensure a beautiful luminosity
in the nave. There are also frescoes painted on
marbled canvases above the broken lateral arches
depicting scenes from the Gospel, beautiful wooden
statues (St Joseph and St. Rita) and, in the aisles,
magnificent abstract stained glass windows, very
colorful, by the Dominican Father Kim En Joong, a
Korean painter known internationally for his paintings
and stained glass windows.

The original organ was installed in 1851/56 by the
Belgium builder Hyppolite Loret. This organ, of which
little is known, contained ancient material, including
wooden pipes from the 8' Bourdon of the Grand-Orgue
dating back to the 18th century. In the years 1963-1965,
the organ was completely rebuilt and transformed into a
neo-classical style by Danion-Gonzalez. The traction of
keyboards and stops became electropneumatic. The
composition of the instrument was completely revised
with a decomposed Cornet and a Cromorne, at the
Grand-Orgue a Doublette and a Cornet V. The 16'
Bourdon and the 16' Bombarde of the GO were split and
extended on a Unit box spring to be played on the pedal
in 16', 8' and 4'. Moreover, it seems that the original
instrument had no independent pedal or no pedal at all.
The original Swell, once located in the upper part of the
buffet, then descended to fit into an expressive box with
its additional stops, behind the Great. However, the
upper part of the buffet, although emptied of its wind
chest, has not been removed and retains some silent
front pipes in order to preserve the original appearance
of the buffet.
