In 1988 Jean-Marc Cicchero reassembled the former
choir organ of Saint-Germain-des-Prés in place of a
former organ of an unknown builder. The current organ
was built by John Abbey at the end of the 19th century.
It was restored by Joseph Gutschenritter in 1938.
In 2021, Yves Fossaert completed a renovation and
partial reharmonisation.

The current church is the third place of worship on
the site. In 1551, a first chapel was built. It was
destroyed in 1590 by the League during the siege of
Paris by Henry IV. In April 1628, Queen Anne of
Austria laid the foundation stone for a new church,
erected as a parish in 1673.
Following the outrages suffered during the
Revolution, it threatened to fall into disrepair and
was rebuilt by Étienne-Hippolyte Godde, architect of
the Paris municipality, in 1823, in a neo-classical
style. It has a baptistery by immersion in the choir.
