Saint Jean Baptiste was built in 1831 in a neoclassical style.

The Great Organ was built in 1873 by Eugène et John Abbey in an older case. In 1904, Charles Mutin did some maintenance works and modified the organ slightly. Between 1937-38 the house Pleyel replaced the transmissions. In 1971, the organ was reconstructed by Jean Bourgarel, who ireplaced some romantic stops with mutations; the rees of the Récit were removed as were all the mechnaical parts and manuals. A électropneumatic system was installed with a new console. In 1992, Jean- Marc Swiderski partly electrified this instrument. In 2023, the German organ builder Gerhard Grenzing has been selected to carry out the restoration and enlargement of the Abbey organ. Grenzing proceeded to the complete dismantling of the instrument in June 2023 and transport the instrument to his workshops. The main lines of the project are: (1) To preserve, restore and enhance the buffet with the removal of lateral additions. (2) To restore the keyboards of "Grand-orgue" and "Récit expressif" by the Abbey brothers. (3) To extend the Pedal to 32 notes. (4) To add a new sound plan "Grand-chorus expressive" on a new windchest, placed on the rear upper tribune with its wind power supply complement. (5) Install a new electric transmission, a new console with three keyboards and pedalboard with a computer. Source: ASSOCIATION DES AMIS DES ORGUES DE SAINT-JEAN- BAPTISTE
