ST. JACQUES.—Supported on wooden pillars at the west end of the church, is a large early Renaissance organ, with a Choir in front, in a dirty condition. 1866.
ST. RÉMI has an organ very similar to St. Jacques, not quite so old, which, when I saw it, was in a very shabby state.
DIJON.
THE CATHEDRAL.—The organ is in a Grand case at the west end. By some people it is considered one of the finest cases in France. I have never been able to get a drawing or photograph of it, and omitted to sketch it myself. 1855.
LAON.
THE CATHEDRAL.—At the end of the north transept stands the very picturesque Great Organ, with its Choir in front. It has five towers, the two largest of which, supported by giants, stand at the sides, and the smallest occupies the centre. The Choir Organ has three towers, the least in the middle. Wood pipes, coloured red, are placed on each side of the Great Organ, with bad effect. The tone of the instrument is reedy and weak, and the wind short. The Accompaniment Organ, in an ordinary flat modern Gothic case, stands on the north side of the Choir. 1868.
LISIEUX.
ST. PIERRE (formerly the Cathedral).—A good sized organ, of a fair Gothic design, is on the north side of the Choir. It is played from the Stalls. There is no organ at the west end, which is rather unusual in a large French church. 1866.
ST. JACQUES.—The church was so dark that I could only make out that the organ, which stood at the west end of the church, had four towers, and the Choir in front, three. The case might have been an old one, half Flamboyant, and half Renaissance, or perhaps modern Gothic. 1866.
