  • The organ of the abbey church of Saint-Magloire in Léhon was originally constructed in 1944 as a residence organ for a private customer, who lived in the neighbourhood of Annonay in the Ardèche. The original manufacture is unknown. In 1949, the organ was relocated to the chapel of the Petit-Séminaire in Aubanas.
  • Athanase Dunand restored the organ in 1953 and enlarged it with a second manual. The organ was then installed in the chapel of the Foyer de Charité in Châteauneuf-de-Galaure. It had ten stops now. In 1987, the organ was sold again, and André Thomas installed it in the Chapelle of the Communauté des Frères de Saint-Jean-de-Dieu, 6 Chemin du Lingorze in Le Croisic.
  • The transfer to Dinan-Léhon was carried out in 1996 by Jean-Louis Laval and Thierry Lemercier. They modified the organ, replacing some stops by second hand stops, taken from dismantled organs by the company Dunand.
