This organ is the former choir organ of Merklin of the Sainte Clotilde Basilica. Built by Merklin in 1888 to serve as the choir organ of the Basilica of Ste Clotilde in Paris, it was dismantled in 1935, then installed and enlarged by the Maison Cavaillé-Coll for the Parisian salon of the Marquis de Froissart, major shareholder and financier of the Maison Cavaillé-Coll. Some major transformations were made: The Swell became Expressive Positive and a great Symphonic Swell was added. A large console of three keyboards supplanted Merklin's. To achieve this enlargement, the organ of Azans was used. This organ had been bought in 1923 by the Marquis de Froissard thanks to Mutin's catalogue (organ with 2 keyboards, incorporating parts of an organ buffet of the seventeenth century) for the church of Azans. In 1948, this organ was ceded to the parish of Saint Léon. It was then reassembled by Jules Isambart. The Great lost its expression. On the same keyboard, a new Salicional replaced the Clarinet, which moved to the Positive, replacing the Voix Humaine which was not reintegrated. , Dargassies has restored this instrument. The work consisted of replacing the transmission, installing new electropneumatic machines for pulling notes, replacing the draw motors of the stops. The composition was preserved, but the pressure of the Swell was reinforced, the funds made more ascending. In 2020, the parish purchased a choir organ, serving mainly for week masses at the Chapel of the Virgin and casuals with small assemblies.

The construction of the church was spread over several years and it was inaugurated in 1947. The church was designed by Émile Brunet. It is built of concrete covered with brick. The art deco-inspired decoration (stained glass windows, mosaics, sculptures, ironwork) is characteristic of the 1930s and 1940s. The mosaic is the work of Auguste Labouret. The high altar and pulpit were lost. The stained glass windows of the apse of 1930 (on the theme of the mysteries of the Rosary) and the aisle (which represent the sacraments and instruments of the Passion) are the work of Louis Barillet. The reliefs were created by Henri Bouchard and Auguste Cornu, and the ironwork is the work of Raymond Subes.
