This church, with the patronage of Saint-MICHEL, is dedicated to the Archangel Michael. The name (from Hebrew) means "Who is like God?" He is often depicted - in paintings or as a statue - with a flaming sword, or occasionally a lance. Michael is - together with Raphael and Gabriel, and sometimes Uriel is also included - one of the three or four archangels who (according to human belief) occupy the highest rank in the heavenly hierarchy of angelic beings. Their common feast day in the calendar of saints is September 29th.

The town of Morlaix is dominated by a railway viaduct that is over 50 m high and 258 m long and can be seen from far away. It was built in 1864 to create the railway connection between Paris and Brest. At the time, many buildings had to be demolished for this project. During the Second World War, Allied bombers were supposed to bomb the viaduct, but missed their target and caused great damage to the town. The viaduct can be crossed on foot on the first floor.
