The organ in Vatan Church was built by Edmond Alexandre Roethinger in 1900. The previous organ, built in 1747 by Nicolas Collard and Claude Deschamps, was lost in a fire. This organ had three manuals and pedal and 24 stops. The new organ is much smaller. It was enlarged and converted in 1951 by Robert Boisseau in collaboration with the Roethinger firm. Jean-Marc Cicchero carried out an overhaul in 1989. Major maintenance was carried out in 2012 by Claude Jaccard.
