E6 The organ of the church of Sainte-Geneviève in Asnières- sur-Seine was built in 1893 by organbuilders John and Eugène Abbey. In 1931, the organ was moved, after the church was enlarged. It was electrified in 1961 and very slightly modified to suit modern tastes, by the organbuilder Jean Hermann. A Plein-jeu then replaces the Bourdon 16' of the GO which is placed at the Pedal and extended to the 8'; in the Récit, a Nazard replaces the Voix-humaine. By 1994, the organ had become almost silent. An overhaul, taken care of by the parish, was carried out by Jean-Marc Cicchéro, with modification of the Plein-jeu, addition of a Tierce to complete the Nazard, extension of the Pedal to the 4' Flute. The works that could not be carried out in 1994 became urgent and the organ deteriorated rapidly in the 2010s. In 2019, an expansion and restoration project was carried out by the organ factory of Saverio Girotto. More information

The presence of a church dedicated to Saint Geneviève has been attested for several centuries. A building is mentioned for the first time in 1158. This building, or another, was consecrated in 1541. It was rebuilt between 1703 and 1711. In 1930, it was enlarged by the construction of an additional bay, the setback of the façade, and the addition of two side aisles.
