From 1947 to 1954, Dupré was director of the [[American Conservatory]], which occupies the [[Louis XV]] wing of the [[Château de Fontainebleau]] near Paris. In 1954, after the death of [[Claude Delvincourt]] in a traffic accident, Dupré became director of the [[Paris Conservatoire]]; he held this post for only two years before the prevailing national laws forced him to retire at the age of 70. He taught two generations of well-known organists such as [[Jehan Alain]] and [[Marie-Claire Alain]], [[Jean-Marie Beaudet]], [[Pierre Cochereau]], [[Françoise Renet]], [[Jeanne Demessieux]], [[Rolande Falcinelli|Rolande Ginabat-Falcinelli]], [[Jean-Jacques Grunenwald]], [[Odile Pierre]], [[Jean Guillou]], [[Jean Langlais]], [[Carl Weinrich]], [[Clarence Watters]] and, most famously, [[Olivier Messiaen]], to name only a few. He prepared study editions of the organ works of [[Johann Sebastian Bach|Bach]], [[Handel]], [[Mozart]], [[Liszt]], [[Felix Mendelssohn|Mendelssohn]], [[Robert Schumann|Schumann]], [[César Franck]], and [[Alexander Glazunov]].
