  • The church of Saint-Éloi in Tourcoing is located in the burrough Blanc-Seau. A pipe organ was acquired from the company Merklin & Cie. in 1867. This organ had one manual. In 1949 it was rebuilt and enlarged by Jean Grammet, who created a Récit Expressif and enlarged the instrument to eleven stops. He used a lot of older material, to reduce the costs. The result is not a really satisfying instrument.
  • According to Marc Loridan three stops (Bourdon 16', Gambe 8' and Voix Céleste 8') have been removed and were installed in the organ of the Église Sainte-Anne. There have been plans to reconstruct the original instrument, with a somewhat enlarged stop list, but there plans have never been carried out.
