Church visit in bort les orgues

If you are looking for an unusual but exciting visit, and also free, visiting the church's pipe organ is a must and you will not be disappointed!

It is absolutely not necessary to “be a musician” to appreciate it, only to “be curious”.
All year round: the free guided tour, lasting approximately 1 hour, is by appointment, at 05.55.96.81.85 (leave a message if necessary).

From 1 to 10 people maximum per visit and the appointment is always made subject to an impromptu religious service.

Adapted sessions are also offered to schoolchildren and college students.

Tour menu:

General information on the organ of Bort-les-Orgues.
