It literally means:
*️⃣Bon → Good
*️⃣Voyage → Trip

It means “Have a good trip” or “Have a nice trip“. We use it when saying goodbye to someone (or a group of people) leaving for a trip, to wish a safe and nice time during the trip.
Cool thing: “bon voyage” is also used in English with the exact same meaning.

❗️if the trip is about going home, you can also use “Bon retour → Have a good/nice journey home“.
