Consecrated in 1896 by the bishop of Montpellier, it is, after the Redoute, the second oldest building of the commune.
Very representative of the “architectural pastiche” spirit in vogue in the 19th century, it combines a Romanesque-Byzantine façade and a neo-Gothic nave.
Constantly embellished over the decades, until very recently with the installation of stained glass, shelters the relics of St. Florence sculptured in wax and the statue of St. Peter.
It is particularly celebrated during the Sea Festival in July, a tradition between meditation and festivities dear to the hearts of Palavasians. In the morning, the High Mass is followed by a procession and a ceremony at sea in memory of missing sailors. The evening is dedicated to partying with tournaments of jousters, fireworks and ball.
On the left of the choir, the statue of St. Peter represented in his fishing boat watches over the world of “sea workers”.
