- In 1899 Joseph Bourcet built a new organ for the Église Saint-Louis in Tourcoing. This church was dedicated in 1893. The dedication of the organ took place on December 9, 1899. The official inauguration concert was played on Wednesday, December 13 with a number of organists and musicians.
- The organ was restored by Georges Delmotte in 1982, who electrificated the pneumatic action of both keys and stops. In 2002 the church was closed for services. After ten years without maintenance the building was sold to Silvany Hoarau. Today it is in use under the name l'Epidème for concerts and exhibitions. The organ has been renovated in 2019.
