In the church of Sainte-Catherine, the organ takes place in a corbelled tribune overlooking the nave. An initial organ, dating from 1647, built by the Villeneuve factor Claude Dupré, was installed above the pulpit to be preached in the old church of Sainte-Catherine. From the latter there remains only the buffet - partly redesigned - and some games.
The instrument was almost completely rebuilt in 1874 by Jules Magen. It underwent various restorations in the 20th century.
