The Saint Michael Archangel Church was created simultaneously with the parish Saint-Michel in 1848. Opened in 1864, it is the first neogothic church in Marseille. The building was completely renovated in 2017.

The competition for a church and presbytery project was decided in 1868, and was won by the architect Alfred Coisel, who carried out the construction of the building between 1869 and 1874.

A convent was established in 1661, and a convent was added in 1666. The church became a parish church in 1822. The bombings of 1944 affected the church, which only retains its bell tower. A desire to rebuild the church emerged in 1954, but it was not opened until 1964, and work only really began in 1960.

The church of Saint Michel was built between 1859 and 1867. It is the third church built in Cassis. The first one, built in the 16th century, was located in the castle enclosure. With the expansion of the town, a second church was built between the 17th and 18th centuries, outside the enclosure. In the 19th century, due to the instability of the ground on which it was built, it was decided to replace this church with a new one slightly outside the town centre.

Église Saint-Michel is located in Crupilly, a small village with 63 inhabitants about 12 km east of the municipality of Guise in the Département Aisne in the région Hauts-de-France.

Église Saint-Michel is located in Froidestrées, a small village with 177 inhabitants about 4 km south of La Capelle in the Département Aisne in the région Hauts-de-France.

The church of Saint-Michel-des-Lions is a Gothic church, built between the 14th and 16th centuries, which owes its name to its four lion statues. Two of them guard the entrance, another one the interior of the church and the last one is the place of the Presidial which observes the church. Saint-Loup, bishop of Limoges, gave a chapel of Saint-Michel to the canons of Saint Martial around 630. Two fires in Limoges, in 1123 and 1147, destroyed the church. It was the monk Pierre de Verteuil who rebuilt it. The church was consecrated in 1213. But this new church collapsed and the foundation stone of a new church was laid in 1364. In 1552, the church was extended by an additional bay to the west, remarkable for its large windows. Work was carried out in the following centuries, particularly on the bell tower (1604, 1754, 1810, etc.).

Built on the Place de la Préfecture, the first stone was laid in 1839. Its architect, Joseph-Auguste Traxler (1796-1856), designed it in the neo-classical style, inspired in particular by the church of Saint-Philippe-du-Roule in Paris.

The church underwent two phases of destruction, the first in 1563, when Le Havre was taken over by the English. The second in 1856 when it was considered too small to accommodate the faithful. A new church was rebuilt the same year a few meters further on.

Église Saint-Nicolas is located in Bancigny, a small village with 25 inhabitants about 12 km south-east of the town of Vervins in the Département Aisne in the région Hauts-de-France. It is situated halfway between the fortified churches of Plomion and Jeantes.
