Numerous remains of the Stone Age have been found and attest to an occupation of the site in prehistoric times. The village had a real quarry of Roman tiles at a place called Trepesson. Towards the middle of the XNUMXth century, the town suffered from Norman invasions. In the Middle Ages, two important routes taken by the pilgrims of St Jacques de Compostelle cross at St-Michel. During the Hundred Years War, the English and the French crossed and looted the lands of the village. The church is partly burnt down with the Wars of Religion. Today, the main activity is viticulture, and the Canon Fronsac appellation is produced there, of which St-Michel is the cradle.
