Église Saint-Blaise et Notre-Dame-des-Malades

The church combines two architectural styles, featuring a concrete exterior with Art Deco elements and an interior adorned with stained glass, mosaics, and marble decorations.

The original structure from 1714 was replaced by a new building between 1925 and 1931 to accommodate the increasing number of visitors to Vichy's thermal springs.

The church houses a 14th-century Black Virgin statue that survived the French Revolution when a child protected its head from destruction.

The church remains open daily from 8:00 AM to 7:00 PM and offers wheelchair access through dedicated facilities for visitors with reduced mobility.

The dome of the church features a 5.20-meter-tall statue of the Virgin Mary and contains extensive Art Deco iconography representing biblical narratives.
