Following the 1905 Church-State Separation
Act, furniture from the Chapel of Our Lady of
Nazareth on Boulevard Montparnasse was
stored at 182 rue de Vaugirard. Here, a
temporary chapel for the patronage of
Nazareth was set up.
The current chapel was built by architect Mr.
Rapine in 1908. On May 2, 1909, the chapel
on the first floor was blessed by Vicar General
Thomas as Our Lady of Nazareth.
During the First World War, part of the
building was used to collect the wounded.
In 1943, the chapel became the name of Our
Lady of the Lilies. It was assigned to the
Tidentine Form in 1988. It has been served
since 2009 by the priests of the Diocese of
Paris who continue to celebrate under this
rite.

E1
This organ of the system ‘Unit’ was built in 1971 by J.W.
Walker & Son Ltd. It was intended for an Anglican hospital
outside London. It was able to be acquired by Notre-Dame
du Lys thanks to the generosity of the faithful (around 1990).
Volunteers and Father Jean-Louis Gallet went there to
dismantle the instrument and brought it back by boat.
Remounted near the crucifix on the left aisle of the chapel, it
was necessary to build the current gallery where the organ
found its final place."
An overhaul was performed in 2021 by Nicolas Toussaint
(Bretonne Organ Manufacture of Nantes).
