The church of Saint-Michel is the only one in the diocese of Paris to be dedicated to the prince of the archangels. Built in Burgundy bricks in the Romano-Byzantine style from 1913 to 1925 by architect Bernard Haubold, the present building has succeeded two temporary churches, erected in 1858 and 1903. At the top of its campanile shines the statue of the archangel, twin sister of that of Mont-Saint-Michel, in copper repulsed and gilded, work of the sculptor Emmanuel Frémiet. The interior decoration includes an important furniture of precious inlaid wood (Way of the Cross, pulpit, ambons, stalls and work bench). Acquired in 1937 from the former Hotel Majestic, its organ has three keyboards of thirty-five games.
