The setting sun lights up the western flank of the church.
I've not been inside, but it might be worth a look one day. I snapped this picture as we were heading back to the parking lot after visiting the castle.

Eglise Saint-Vincent-de-Paul
Being a city of about fifty-thousand people, Blois has, in addition to its cathedral, many churches around town. This is one of them, the Church of Saint Vincent de Paul. It was built in the mid-seventeenth century and is just across the way from the château.

virginia, thanks, and welcome!
michael, I'm not too sure, since I only go in them as a tourist. But I know there are services (just don't know how frequent) depending on the church. Always weddings, funerals, and high Catholic holidays, too. Some churches host concerts or art exhibits as well.
