  • Tours: AROSS association will offer unique tours of the Saint-Sulpice church and its secrets, and guided walks to the various addresses where Widor lived/worked, such as the music rooms.
  • Musical moments: these daytime interludes will allow you to rediscover Widor’s chamber music (on Erard piano, Mustel harmonium, flute, string quartet…)
  • Concerts: Grand evening concerts will be given on the historic Aristide Cavaillé-Coll organs, authentic witnesses played by Widor.
