The windows of the transept show the stoning of Saint Stephen in the northern transept and the martyrdom of Abbot Saint Porcaire II and 500 monks of the Abbey of Lérins around 731 in the southern transept.

The windows of the choir were shattered on 15 August 1944 and have been replaced by new windows by the stained glass company Mauméjean. They show scenes from the life of the Holy Family. Source Wikipedia

The majestic church was built in the 19th century on the site of a 16th-century chapel. It houses a huge organ from 1901 and historical sculptures depicting, among other things: st. Anthony of Padua, St. Nicholas and St. Rita.

The church is located not far from the festival building and the sea at the intersection of Rue Notre Dame and Rue Buttura. It is dedicated to Our Lady of the Good Voyage (French: Bon Voyage), which originally meant the sailors' voyage, but today also means any other journey.

In 1932, a plaque was placed on the northern outer wall commemorating that Napoleon Bonaparte set up his first camp here after his escape from Elba on August 1, 1815.
