Organs of the Nantes Cathedral, Pipe organs in Nantes Cathedral, France

The two pipe organs of Nantes Cathedral feature thousands of pipes and multiple keyboards, creating rich musical sounds throughout the stone structure.

The grand organ, constructed by Aristide Cavaillé-Coll in the nineteenth century, replaced previous instruments that were damaged during historical conflicts.

Musicians perform regular concerts on these instruments, presenting compositions from French classical repertoire within the cathedral's stone walls.

Visitors can attend organ performances during religious services and scheduled concerts throughout the year in this Gothic cathedral of western France.

The organ cases received official protection status as French Historical Monuments in 1906, ensuring their preservation for future generations.
