The majestic organ in Sainte Croix church in Aubusson is the star attraction during the annual Organ Festival. Visiting international musicians give recitals.
The instrument was made in 1982 to an 18th-century German model by André Jorrand and has 27 pedals and 1800 pipes.
Alongside the organ recitals, the festival also features a varied programme of other classical music concerts. Please visit the festival website for full details.
