The Église Saint-Blaise et Notre-Dame-des-Malades is a church building featuring Art Deco style in Vichy. Its interior displays stained glass windows, mosaics, and marble decorations, while the concrete facade incorporates decorative details.
The original church dating from 1714 was replaced by a new building constructed between 1925 and 1931. This new structure was built to accommodate the growing number of visitors drawn to Vichy's thermal development.
