- The organ in the Église Saint-Jacques in Nice, also called Église du Gesù, was built in 1896 by Carlo Vegezzi-Bossi. The organ case was taken from the previous instrument. This organ case is the work of the brothers Antoine and Honoré Grinda, dating from 1804. Their organ was enlarged in 1815 by Honoré Grinda with five reed stops and a cornet. In 1844 Nicomedo Agati rebuilt the instrument, and in 1869 it was rebuilt again by Federico Voloncini. From this organ only the case has been re-used.
- In 1925 a renovation was carried out by Félix Vignolo.
