The
Boisseau
family
was
a
family

French
organ builders of the twentieth century.
Robert
Boisseau
(1909-1979),
a

specialist
in
organ
building
for
the
Clicquot
family,
took
an

in
ancient

of
hammered
tin.
In

at
the
request
of
Pierre
Cochereau,
he
took
charge
of
the
maintenance
and
then
the
restoration
of
the
organ
of
Notre-Dame
de
Paris
and
then
rebuilt
the
choir organ.
He
then
passed
on
his
know-how
to
his
eldest
son
Jean-Loup
Boisseau
(1940-2023).
Also
very
interested
in
ancient
organ
building,
he
carried
out
numerous
restorations
of
historic
organs,
first
with
his
father
Robert
Boisseau,
then
with
Bertrand
Cattiaux,
with
whom
he
joined

the
Basilica
of
Saint-Sernin
in
Toulouse,
the
Basilica
of
Saint-Denis,
and
the
Cathedral
of
Saint-Pierre
in
Poitiers.
Among
his
other
major
achievements
was
the
meticulous
reconstruction
of
the
organ
of
the
Royal
Chapel
of
Versailles,
in
the
manner
of
its
fifteenth-century
designers.
A
major
figure
in
organ
restoration,
especially
from
the
1980s
to
the
2000s,
he
also
built
the
organs of the cathedrals of Monaco and Nice, among others.
His
grandson
Jean-Baptiste
Boisseau
(1965-2022)
followed
the
path
of
his
(grand)father
and
created
with
Jean-Marie
Gaborit
the
company
Béthines les Orgues.
Bertrand

of
Jean-Loup

the
years

his
own
company
(Atelier
Bertrand
Cattiaux)
in
1998.
He
built
many
