Église Notre-Dame-de-Bon-Voyage

Église Notre-Dame-de-Bon-Voyage is a Catholic parish church in Cannes, France, built in the neo-Romanesque style. The church occupies a site with a sixteenth-century chapel.

The chapel carried the names Notre-Dame des Sables, Notre-Dame-du-Bord-de-Mer, and Notre-Dame-de-Bon-Port, and later served as a cooperage workshop during the French Revolution. Laurent Vianay designed the new church for a growing Cannes. The larger project began in the nineteenth century, while war interrupted construction before the church was consecrated. A plaque on the north wall recalls Napoleon’s bivouac there.

The interior holds a sixteenth-century crucifix, statues from later centuries, and transept windows showing religious scenes. Replacement Mauméjean windows depict scenes from the life of the Holy Family. The church’s musical heritage includes a reconstructed historic pipe organ and a Laukhuff positive organ. Albert Frommer organised concerts and supported the Union artistique in Cannes. Restoration work addressed stained glass, vaults, columns, electrics, and access for people with reduced mobility. The church served worshippers and the wider Cannes community.
