| Year | Builder | Opus | Activity | 1604 | Pierre Marchand | new organ | 1712 | Charles Boisselin | restoration and enlargement | 1847 | Prosper-Antoine Moitessier | new organ in old case | 1984 | Jean Dunand | restoration |
- Pierre Marchand built a small organ in 1604 for the Église Sainte-Marthe in Tarascon. It was an organ with one manual. In 1712 Charles Boisselin built the current organ. He used material from Marchand, including the organ case, which was set up as the main case (Grand Orgue). This case was expanded with two side towers. The organ was enlarged with a number of new stops and an independent pedal was installed with a Trumpet. Joseph Isnard enlarged the organ in 1788 with a small discant Récit with three stops.
- The current instrument dates from 1847, when Prospère-Antoine Moitessier built a new organ in the Marchand-Boisselin case, re-using much of the old pipe work. The Récit was expanded and placed in a swell box. The organ was restored in 1984 by Jean Dunand.
