History

A smaller church was built in 1586, where sailors would bring their ex-votos. Over time, this tradition was moved to Notre-Dame de la Garde.
In 1823-1824, the current church building was constructed in the neoclassical style.
In 1839, Frédéric Chopin played on the pipe organ inside the church, which is still there.
It has four paintings by Barthélemy Chasse : La fuite en Égypte, L'atelier de Nazareth, L'adoration des bergers and Le mariage de la Vierge. It also has one painting by Dominique Papety : Christ en majesté.
