Am on phone so cannot post a picture - but the reconstruction looks superb.

Good for the next 600 years.

I’ve been following the project on instagram. It is truly staggering. The artisans have been fantastic. Such a brilliant opportunity for them to showcase their skills.

Ugh! How to spoil something beautiful - add a nasty dose of Trump Musk to the atmosphere! :roll: Brigitte's expression caught at the beginning of this clip speaks for us all! :lol:

@ Bayleaf, that barbed wire sound of one of the organists even reached the small town of Arnstadt in Germany where the statue of the young Johan Sebastian Bach almost fell backwards in amazement. Has this organist in Paris gone completely mad? Ist er verrückt geworden?

Lefigaro this morning is more diplomatic: " Mgr Laurent Ulrich, archevêque de Paris, a adressé des invocations à l’orgue à huit reprises. Les quatre organistes se sont ensuite relayés pour répondre en improvisant des airs. Chacun ont joué à leur façon pour montrer toutes les palettes de l’orgue. "

Superb reconstruction and a chance in a million for all the artisans that were part of it - some of them came from far and wide to be part of the project. A real chance to put their skills into practice.
