The organ case is made by Philippe Bertrand (1708). The
instrument itself was built originally by Robert Clicquot in
1711. A major transformation was carried out by Cavaillé-
Coll in 1873. In 1936, this organ was sold to the
Séminaire de Châteaugiron (and later to the Saint Martin
church in Rennes) and Victor Gonzalez made a
recontruction of the Clicquot-instrument.
In 1995, a completely new instrument was made by Jean-
Loup Boisseau et Bertrand Cattiaux, aiming to recontruct
(again) the creation of Robert Clicquot and the additions
of Louis-Alexander and Francois-Henri Clicquot.
