  • The organ of the Église Saint-Christophe in Châteaufort-en-Yvelines was built in 1994 by Bernard Thourel. He used some ranks by Charles Mutin from the organ of the Grand-Séminaire in Versailles and some ranks by Victor Gonzalez. In 2012 the organ was rebuilt on the choir of the church.
  • Bernard Thourel carried out some renovation works in 2020. He replaced the Trompette of the Grand Orgue by a new one, and reworked the old one to a Régal en chamades. A modern combination action was also added.
