Claude Parisot

The Parisot organ at Sées Cathedral

Claude Parisot (c. 1704, Étain – 3 March 1784, Étain) was a French organ builder. He came from a family of organ builders: his nephew Henri in turn built and repaired many instruments in Basse Normandie and Maine. He learned his art with Moucherel of Lorraine, then in 1727 with Louis-Alexandre and Jean-Baptiste Clicquot in Paris.

Beginning in 1735, Parisot built numerous organs in northern and western France:

• 1736 Church of St Rémy, Dieppe, restored and currently used by the École Nationale de Musique. Numerous recordings available.
• 1741 Premonstratensian abbey of Mondaye (near Bayeux)
• 1747 Notre-Dame de Guibray, Falaise
• Premonstratensian abbey of Séry-aux-Prés (Seine-Maritime)
