The church of Notre-Dame d'Espérance is a parish catholic church located in France in the commune of Cannes in the Alpes-Maritimes department.

The construction, begun in 1521, spread over a hundred years and did not end until 1627. After being blessed, the church is dedicated to Our Lady of Hope on the 25th March 1645, on the feast of the Annunciation.

While waiting for the repair of the bell tower in 2017, four loudspeakers fixed on the four sides of the bell tower of the church and a mechanism at the level of the sacristy have been installed.
