- The Grand Temple at Alès was completed in 1886. A few years later an organ was installed, the maker of which is unknown. It may have been built by a builder from Alsace. In 1938 Maurice Puget built a new pneumatic organ in the existing organ case. This organ was inaugurated with a concert by Alexandre Cellier.
- The organ was demolished in 1990. It was replaced a few years later by a completely new organ, built in the style of Gottfried Silbermann's organs.
