Nicolas Henry delivered a small organ to the parish church in Ambarès in 1840. It was rebuilt and expanded by Georges Wenner a few years later. The organ became unplayable in the course of time. Martin Haverlan rebuilt it in 1981-1982. Eventually the current organ was built in 1997 by the Pesce brothers, making use of the historical material present. The new organ was dedicated on September 19, 1997.
