Church on Sunday - Saint Etienne in Le Blanc

The 17th century church of Saint Etienne in Le Blanc was originally the chapel of a Récollets convent and dedicated to Notre-Dame-de-l'Assomption. It became St Etienne parish church at the beginning of the 19th century. 
Its main feature, not unsurprisingly, is its elaborate altarpiece portraying the Assumption of the Virgin Mary but it has many other interesting internal features. 

   

The church apparently contains the relics of some lesser know  Saints,Tridore and Principin,  


It has some pretty 20th century stained glass windows.
