Église Notre-Dame-d'Espérance
The church of the Suquet, built 1521–1627 above the bay
Building began in 1521, paid for by the people of Cannes, and took about a century, though the contract asked for three years – and a price of 2,000 florins, 15 écus and 50 barrels of anchovies. It replaced the monks' fortified church, which became the chapel of Sainte-Anne, and was dedicated to Notre-Dame de l'Espérance on 25 March 1645.
It stands on Place de la Castre at the top of the Suquet and has been a classé historic monument since 28 July 1937.
