Orgue de tribune de la basilique Saint-Denis, Pipe organ in Basilique Saint-Denis, France

The grand organ features 69 stops across multiple divisions, positioned prominently on the west tribune of the Gothic basilica Saint-Denis.

The present organ, inaugurated in 1841, represents the first major instrument constructed by Aristide Cavaillé-Coll, incorporating the Barker lever mechanical innovation.

Musicians and organists regularly perform sacred music concerts on this instrument, which exemplifies the French Romantic organ building tradition.

The organ remains functional for religious services and concerts, with scheduled performances throughout the year under the direction of organist Quentin Guerillot.

The instrument combines elements from classical French organ building with technical innovations that influenced organ construction across Europe during the 19th century.
