  • The organ in the Église Saint-Jacques in Dieppe was built in 1929 by Victor Gonzalez. The instrument was overhauled in 1978 by Jean-Marc Cicchero. In 2006, the Manufacture Frères Robert and Denis Lacorre carried out a joint restoration. The electrical action has been modernized and an electronic combination device has been installed.
  • The organ case is much older than the organ itself. It was manufactured in 1637 by Christophe Dubois. In 1675, Antoine Vincent expanded the organ to a four-manual organ with 27 stops and an attached pedal. François Thierry placed an independent pedal with six registers in 1726. In the nineteenth century, the instrument was modernized by Pierre-Alexandre Ducroquet in 1846 (extension with a Récit) and in 1895 by Georges Krischer.
