- In 1780, Jean-Pierre Cavaillé built a new organ for the Église Notre-Dame de la Réal in Perpignan. This instrument was destroyed in 1791 during disturbances during the French Revolution. The current organ was built in 1817 by Antoine and Honoré Grinda in a beautiful case designed by Pierre Nègre. The organ is placed in a niche on the north side of the nave of the church, close to the choir.
- The organ has been restored and renovated several times over the years. In 1878 by Théodore Puget, in 1927 by Maurice Puget, in 1953 by Léopold Troseille and in 1995 by Yves Cabourdin. The company Rumeau & Layolle carried out repairs in 1930. Major maintenance was carried out in 2007 by François Delangue.
