ORGANS OF PARIS © 2023 Vincent Hildebrandt ALL ORGANS
The
Boisseau
family
is
a
family
of
French
organ
builders
in
the
20th
century.
Robert
Boisseau
(1909-1979)
and
his
oldest
son
Jean-
Loup
Boisseau
(*1940)
built
many
new
organs
and
did
a
number
of
restorations.
The
latter
associated
himself
in
1980
with
his
former employee
Bernard Cattiaux
.
Grandson
Jean-Baptiste
Boisseau
(1965-2022)
followed
the
path
of
his
(grand)father
and
created
with
Jean-Marie
Gaborit
the
company
Béthines les Orgues.
Bernard
Cattiaux
(*1955)
is
a
pupil
of
Jean-Loup
Boisseau
and
was
associated
with
him
during
the
years
1980-1998.
In
that
period,
they
restored
over
30
organs,
among
which
the
basilique
Saint-
Denis,
Notre-Dame
de
Paris,
la
cathédrale
de
Poitiers
et
Saint-
Sernin
de
Toulouse.
They
reconstructed
the
organ
of
the
Royal
Chapel
of
the
castle
of
Versailles
.
He
started
his
own
company
(
Atelier Bertrand Cattiaux)
in 1998.
Olivier
Chevron
(*1967)
worked
at
the
firm
of
Jean-Loup
Boisseau
before
he
created
his
own
firm
in
2002.
His
activities
comprise
both
construction
and
restoration,
inspirated
by
historic
instruments
while
respecting
the
needs
of
the
organist
of
the
XXIth
century.
He
built
the
organ
of
the
Chapelle
Notre-Dame
du
Saint
Sacrement
(2017).
In 2019, the Bertrand Cattiaux Workshop became
"
Atelier Cattiaux - Olivier Chevron successeur"
.
Olivier
Chevron
took
over
the
management
of
the
Cattiaux
company
as
the
succession
of
Bertrand
Cattiaux
with
the
same
team
of
production
companions.
Bertrand
Cattiaux
will
accompany
Olivier
Chevron
for
a
few
years
by
ensuring
the
harmony
of
the
next instruments.
