The organ in the Église Saint-Étienne in Nevers was originally built in 1853 by the firm of Daublaine-Ducroquet as the choir organ for the old Église de la Trinité in Paris. After the construction of a new church, the organ was rebuilt, expanded and transferred to Nevers by the company Cavaillé-Coll. The organ was overhauled by Jean Duvivier in 1901 and 1909. Claude Jaccard carried out a restoration in 2009.
