Saint Éloi
3, place Maurice-de-Fontenay, 75012 Paris
In 1856, a first church dedicated to Saint Éloi was
erected in the Reuilly district. A second church, with
a wooden ceiling, succeeded it in 1880. It was to be
provisional but lasted until the construction of the
current church, consecrated in 1968. The architect
Marc Leboucher uses metal as a symbol of Saint
Éloi, patron saint of goldsmiths and metallurgists.

The instrument was built between 1967 and 1970 by Kurt
Schwenkedel of Strasbourg-Koenigshoffen. The latter reused
much of the sound material of the previous instrument that
had been built by Mutin in 1910, for the old church (re-
harmonized by the Steinmetz brothers).
Following the great heat wave of summer 2003, the organ was
restored by Swidersky.
The piping is placed in two oak buffets (Grand-Orgue placed
flush with the tribune, Pedal and Swell in the large buffet). The
separate console is facing the altar.
