Notre-Dame du Liban

17, rue d'Ulm, 75005 Paris

Constructed circa 1893–94 by architect Jules- Godefroy Astruc, it was allocated by the Jesuit Fathers of Sainte-Geneviève school in Paris. Following the 1905 French law on the Separation of the Churches and the State, the Jesuits left it and it was then assigned in 1915 to the Maronite worship. In 1937, the Franco-Lebanese home was built around the parish. Renovations of the roof, canopy and rose were made in 1990-1993. Nowadays, this church is part of the Maronite Church, for worship of Eastern Catholic tradition, who has given it the title of ‘cathedral’.

E6 The organ of Notre Dame du Liban was built around 1910-1920 by Abbé Tronchet (organ builder in Nogent-le-Rotrou). It was donated to the parish around 1970. It was originally a house organ (10 stops, 2 manuals and pedalboard). Nowadays, a small electronic organ is used, placed on the gallery. The old organ in the chapel of the Ste Geneviève school disappeared to be replaced in 1934 by a radio-synthetic organ by Abbé Jules Puget and - about twenty years later - by a mechanical organ with 2 manuals, without façade, belonging to Philippe de Brémond d'Ars (organ teacher at the César-Franck School and organist of the Dominican chapel).
