Two contrasting churches combine at Église St-Blaise: the concrete outer shell of a 1931 art-deco church, resembling something of a Soviet space rocket, and at the rear a reconstructed 15th-century chapel guarding Vichy’s reportedly miracle-working Vierge noire (Black Madonna statue).
The interior is aglow with 20th-century stained glass and bronzed mosaics, as well as frescoes depicting some of France’s famous churches.
