- In 1913, a three-manual organ was built for a private customer by the company Mutin-Cavaillé-Coll. But the instrument was sold soon to the Casino in Nice, where it was inaugurated in 1915. In 1947, the instrument has been installed in the chapel of the Collège Saint-Joseph in Rodez by Léon Troseille. Troseille overhauled the organ in 1951. On this occasion he placed every division inside a swellbox. Five stops were replaced by him by other stops: four on Grand Orgue (Bourdon 8', Salicet 4', Violon 8' and Harpe Éolienne 8') and one on the Positif (Principal 8').
- A fire broke out in the chapel around 2002. After this the room was not in use anymore, except for storage purposes. In 2015-2016 the chapel has been restored and refurbished. It is now in use for artistic and cultural actions, like concerts and exhibitions. The chapel was officially reopened on March 20, 2017. The organ was still waiting for a restoration.
