I'm disappointed now I didn't get to see it before this. The organ has been monkeyed with quite a bit, but at one time it was Cavaillé-Coll's largest instrument (important French Romantic organ builder) in a pre-Revolution case, and the bench where Louis Vierne died in the middle of a recital in 1937 is/was still in the balcony. Not to mention that church being important enough in music history that a whole repertory of early polyphony is named for it.
