- In 1898 Aristide Cavaillé-Coll built a new organ for the Église Saint-Géry in Valenciennes. In 1944 the pipework was taken out of the cases and stored to prevent it from being lost due to war violence. It was not replaced after the war. A fire broke out in the church in 1958, causing the organ case and console to be lost.
- In 1962, the firm Michel Merklin et Kuhn completed a reconstruction in a new case, but with the Cavaillé-Coll pipework in storage. In 1991 the action of the organ was electrified by Bernard Cogez. Antoine Pascal carried out a restoration in 2013.
