In 1927/1928 Auguste Convers (of the company Cavaillé-Coll-Convers) built an organ for a new department store on the Champs-Élysées, named Les Portiques. After the shop closed in 1940, the organ was stored in Noyon Cathedral in 1941, with the plan to rebuild it here. This plan has not been carried out, the organ has only been in storage. Later it was sold to the Protestant community in Amiens. Geoffroy Asselin erected the organ in the Temple in Amiens. This work was supported by many volunteers. It was completed around 1990. The organ is no longer in its original state, several parts have been lost.
