The Chapelle Saint-Michel d'Eguillet is a Romanesque chapel located in Aiguil in the Haute-Loire department in south-central France. The chapel overlooks the town of Le Puy-en-Vrée.
The chapel stands atop the 82-meter-high Saint-Michel crag. This rocky hill is said to be the part that remains after the surrounding mountainous areas were eroded away by the magma solidified by volcanic activity in the past.
The chapel was built in 969, in the middle of the 10th century, and is located at the top of 268 stone steps. The rock itself is believed to have been considered sacred for thousands of years before the chapel was built.
The interior of the chapel is covered with frescoes, including a statue of St. Michael. The entrance is decorated in Byzantine style with stone mosaics of various colors, including black, brown, and white.
