- The organ in the Église Saint-Paul in Beaucaire was originally built in 1773 for a church in Cavaillon. The builder is unknown. In 1805-1806 it was relocated to Beaucaire by Dominique Cavaillé. Maintenance works were carried out by Cyprien Giraud in 1822 and 1931.
- The actual instrument is built in 1930 by the company Merklin, using the historic organ case. He also re-placed the Nazard and the Trompette, but the rest of the old pipework was destroyed.
