The organ of St Michael's Church was built by the firm
Rieger, in the Czech Republic, in 1923. It was installed
initially in the salons of the Hotel Majestic in Paris. The
Hotel Majestic became property of the State in 1936
and the Ministry of war moved in. The organ was then
bought by the St. Michael parish.
This instrument is particularly interesting because its
style is virtually unique in France. It is, rather than a
church organ, an ‘orgue de salon’, probably built in
Germany or America. It has a function called 'cinema
organ'. (Source: http://saintmichel-paris.fr/L-orgue)
