Cavaillé-Coll built an organ for the Église Notre-Dame in Épernay in 1869. It was donated to the church by Paul Chandon de Briailles. The organ was delivered on December 2, 1869. The inspection was carried out by Alexis Chauvet and Charles-Marie Widor, among others. The organ was located in a previous church building. Construction of the new church took many years and was not completed until 1908. The organ was moved to the current church in 1909. It is placed on a gallery in the south transept.
