- The organ in the Basilique Saint-Nicolas in Saint-Nicolas-de-Port was originally built in 1848 by Joseph Cuvillier. The lavish neo-Gothic case is the work of Laurent from Nancy. In 1956, the Jacquot-Lavergne company rebuilt the instrument. In 1993-1994, Théo Haerpfer built a new mechanical organ in the 1848 cases, using some of the existing pipework.
- The organ was restored in 2007 by Michel Gaillard, then in the service of Bernard Aubertin. In 2014, Gaillard carried out an overhaul.
