- The organ of the Église Saint-Hilaire in Mer is built in 1982 by Christian Millot. A large part of the pipework is from the former organ of the church. This instrument was built in 1840 by Martin Wetzel for a church in the Lorraine, and moved to Mer in 1864. In 1958 the organ had to be stored, because of restoration works in the church.
- In 2019 the organ is restored by Pierre-Yves Le Blé.
