On the shores of Lake Geneva, the small pink stone temple houses a central column bearing a golden urn in its rotunda. It contains the heart of Anna de Noailles.

The votive monument, signed by the architect Jose Emilio Terry, was erected in the garden of the Villa Bassara where she stayed for the last time in 1916.
