Amédée de Vallombrosa

Amédée Joseph Gabriel Marie Manca-Amat, Comte de Vallombrosa (24 March 1880 – 9 February 1968) was a French organist and composer.

His aunt, Marie-Paule de Pérusse des Cars, was the first wife of Louis, Duke of Blacas.

[3] Despite his family fortune, the Comte de Vallombrosa did not choose the path of business but devoted his life to music and the organ at an early age.

In 1910, he succeeded Camille Rage to the great organ of the Église Saint-Leu-Saint-Gilles de Paris, while also holding the position of Kapellmeister.

[6] Their son, the Comte de Vallombrosa's great-grandson, is Prince Charles Louis, Duke of Chartres.
