- In the Église Sainte-Agathe in Franière there is an organ by Rudi Jacques from 1993. The organ case is older, it was taken over from the previous organ of the church. Builder and year of construction are unknown. It is thought that the instrument was built around 1850 by Jean-Baptiste Dufossez for the Église Saint-Pierre in Châtelet, and was later transferred to Franière, possibly by De Volder. There is no evidence for this, only some clues and the tradition. In 1993 the instrument was completely rebuilt by Jacques with mechanical action, slider chests, a new wind supply and new keyboards. Three registers have been taken over from the old instrument. The organ was dedicated on November 6, 1993, followed by a concert by Sergio Vartolo, organist in Bologna, Italy.
- Rudi Jacques overhauled the organ in 2017.
