Claude-François Clicquot

[2] Claude-François Clicquot completed a treatise on organ-building, Théorie pratique de la facture d’orgues, that his father had started.

[citation needed] The organ case at Saint-Merry dates back to 1647, and was built by Germain Pilon.

[1] A major overhaul was later undertaken by Aristide Cavaillé-Coll in 1857, but a large part of the Cliquot pipework remains.

François-Henri Clicquot, at that time the leading organ-builder in France, was appointed to create the new one, but died in Pentecost 1790 before completing the work.

[a] When that institution was secularized in 1792, its organ was transferred and installed in the Église Saint-Jacques-du-Haut-Pas by Claude-François Clicquot.
