1893 François Mader  enlargement
1997 Daniel Birouste  new organ in old case

In 1827 Léonard Blondeau built a new organ for the Église Saint-Vincent in Roquevaire. It was revised and expanded by François Mader in 1893. In 1997, Daniel Birouste built a new organ in the old case, which is larger than the old instrument. However, a large part of the pipework has been reused, supplemented with material from the old organ, which was owned by Pierre Cochereau. The renewed instrument was dedicated on September 12, 1997 with a concert by Jean Guillou.
