For the European Heritage Days, come and attend a commented organ concert!

This magnificent organ was sold to the municipality by the Convent of the Cordeliers of Toul on May 22, 1793. It was the restoration carried out by Didier Chanon in 1994 that restored the organ to its exceptional sonorities.

The door and frame are in a very simple style. Above there remains a stone vestige, very deteriorated, which might have rese
