- In the Chapelle du Bienheureux Saint-Michel-Garicoïtz in Bétharram is a small two-manual organ, built by Gaston Maille in 1888. It was originally constructed for the Chapelle de l'Enfant Jésus in Pau. The organ was donated to this chapel by l'abbé O. Quinn. It was dedicated on January 5th, 1889. Léandre Czerniewski and Jérôme Lescazes played the dedicational concert.
- Maurice Puget restored the organ in 1931. He expanded it with a Soubasse on the pedal, installed on its own pneumatic chest.
- In 1972, the organ was transferred to Bétharram by the company Pesce. A new organ case was manufactured. Pesce also added a Larigot to the Récit. One slide of the Récit is still unoccupied, prepared for a Basson-Hautbois.
