Guessing it's a french bike ("Bonadventure" is a french word meaning "Farewell" or "Godspeed.") and I'm guessing it has cottered cranks:

Take the cotter pin out (if you want to re-use them, mind the thread, but new cotter pins are always nice) and the crank should rotate around the spindle easily enough. Rotate it outwards.
