  • Victor Gonzalèz built a large organ for the main hall called Studio 104 in the Maison de Radio France (116, avenue du Président-Kennedy in Paris) in the years 1957-1966. It entered service on February 17, 1967 with a concert by Gaston Litaize. The disposition was designed in collaboration with a group of organists, including Pierre Cochereau and Gaston Litaize. A few more stops were installed in 1974. Bernard Dargassies modified the organ in the years 1989-1991, in particular extending the disposition of Récit and Pédale.
  • The studio was renovated in 2007. The organ therefore had to disappear. It was overhauled and rebuilt by Klais in the Cathédrale Notre-Dame de la Treille in Lille. The organ is located here in the southern transept, with the console freestanding on the church floor. It was dedicated in the church on June 1, 2008.
