- In 1879 the company Cavaillé-Coll supplied a choir organ for the cathedral of Perpignan with fourteen stops, divided over two manuals. The pedal has no stops of its own. Both manuals are set up in their own swell box.
- Maurice Puget carried out a restoration in 1930. In 1950, the compass of the pedalboard was expanded to 30 keys during a revision by Jean Hermann. Claude Berger restored the organ in 2012.
