  • The organ in the parish church of Buc was built in 1967 by Edmond-Alexandre Roethinger as choir organ of the Basilique Sainte-Thérèse in Lisieux. Already in 1972 the instrument was relocated to the Église Saint-Denys in Vaucresson by Roethinger. In 1980, reed stops were added to the organ by Victor Gonzalez.
  • It served in this church until 2006, when it was transferred to Buc by Jean-Marc Cicchero, with the help of volunteers of the parish. In 2020, Claude Pinault carried out maintenance works. Het installed the stops of the pedal from outside the organ case inside the organ case. The Trompette was removed from the pedal on that occasion.
