Église Saint-Michel de Villefranche-sur-Mer, Baroque church in Villefranche-sur-Mer, France.
The Saint-Michel Church features a Latin cross layout with a nave illuminated by oculi windows above the side aisles and pink-ochre ceiling decorations.
The construction of Saint-Michel Church began in 1732 when the Bishop of Nice blessed the first stone, reaching completion in 1757.
The church houses the Grinda brothers organ from 1790, classified as a historical monument in 1971 and restored between 1982 and 2006.
Saint-Michel Church opens daily from 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM and holds regular mass services on Sundays at 10:00 AM and Thursdays at 6:30 PM.
A life-size figure of Christ, carved from a single fig tree, rests at the choir's back, accompanied by baroque paintings depicting Saint Michael.
