Orgue de tribune de la cathédrale Notre-Dame d'Amiens, Pipe organ at Notre-Dame Cathedral, Amiens, France.

The pipe organ stands 17 meters above the ground on the western wall of the nave, beneath the rose window of Notre-Dame Cathedral.

The first instrument, constructed between 1429 and 1431, was funded by Charles VI's valet Alphonse Lemire and his wife Massine de Hainaut.

The organ received extensive modifications by renowned builders, including John Abbey in 1832 and Aristide Cavaillé-Coll between 1884 and 1889.

The current instrument contains 42 stops across multiple divisions including Positif de dos, Grand-Orgue, Récit expressif, and Pédale sections.

During World War I, Paris firefighters dismantled the organ for protection, and it remained in storage until its reassembly between 1935 and 1937.
