I hope that some of our French speakers might keep this forum informed on this.

Best wishes

The church threatens to fall in bits (trees are growing on the roof etc) but the organ is still intact.
There would be an association active to protect the church, but one can guess with little means...
The organ was rebuilt by Beuchet along neo-classical lines.

Best wishes,

Pierre
