While the French were electing their new President of
the Republic (the 8th) on Sunday, May 7, 2017, the
crowd had taken place in the church of St Louis for
the inauguration of its new organ. This building,
whose architecture is influenced by Byzantines or
certain Eastern churches (e.g. St. Sophia's Church in
Constantinople) and whose construction began in
1913 and was completed in 1934, is the work of the
architects Jacques Droz and Joseph Marrast. Its
architecture, based on a vault composed of two pairs
of concrete arches intersecting at right angles
according to a Greek cross plan and topped by a
lantern, is enhanced by a rich interior decoration:
wall frescoes, friezes and scrolls, mosaics, stained
glass windows with multicoloured flashes, liturgical
furniture... An exceptional ensemble, a remarkable
witness to the religious art of the twentieth century,
which was classified in 1996 as a historical
monument.
This organ was built in 2014 by Denis Lacorre, with the
goal to create an neo-classical organ on which music can
be played from all centuries.
