- The organ of the cathedral church in Oleron was built in 1870 by Cavaillé-Coll in a historic 17th century organ case. It was made by an unknown builder thanks to a gift from Monsignor De Gassion around 1650. The builder is thought to be Clicquot or Brunel. The old interior had been sold years before as scrap metal during the French Revolution. Only the wooden Soubasse of the pedal is left over from the previous instrument.
- Maurice Puget renovated the instrument in 1932. Restoration work followed in 1982 by Danion-Gonzalèz and extensive by the Manufacture Languedocienne in 1999. This last restoration was completed in 2002.
