History
Andernos has been inhabited since about 10,000 years ago. This occupation is attested by the discovery of thousands of objects on the banks and mouth of the stream «Le Bétey», towards the marina of the same name.
During the Gallo-Roman period, Andernos is an important city. The Gallo-Roman town was destroyed by the barbarian (Germanic) invasions. However, there are remains of it, next to the church of Saint-Éloi, not far from the oyster port (probably an old Roman villa).
During the revolution, the parish of Saint-Éloi d’Andernos formed the commune of Andernos.
Andernos Castle was located about 2 km from the church and the basin. It completely disappeared, destroyed in 1845.

In 1851, a large part to the north and north-east of the municipality acquired its autonomy to form the municipality of Ares.

Main sights in Andernos les bains
- Prehistoric site of the Betey. The objects discovered show a continuous human occupation of these shores, partly covered by water. Prehistoric occupation begins with the presence of nomadic hunter-fisher-gatherers from the age of -8,500 B.C.
-
The church of Saint-Éloi was a relay of the pilgrimage of Santiago de Compostela. Built on the ruins of a Gallo Roman villa (the remains of which are partly visible next to the church). It dates from the 11th century.
- The Gallo-Roman remains located in the ancient cemetery, near the church of Saint-Éloi.
-
The Louis David House. Near downtown, the Ignota Villa, built in several stages from 1908 to 1914.
-
Quinconces natural site: Les Quinconces was a place of stroll frequented, among others, by Sarah Bernhardt during her stays in Andernos-les-Bains. This site remains one of the last natural areas to have resisted the intensive urbanization of the last 50 years.
-
The pier of Andernos-les-Bains is the longest of the basin with its 232 meters. This book, conceived long before the First World War by Louis David, was not built until 1926.
The pinasses
These boats were initially dedicated to fishing or oyster farming. Later used for boat trips. During the 20th century, they became pleasure craft. Today, these pinnacles are equipped with all modern comforts. They represent most of the pinnacles that we meet today on the ports of the Arcachon Basin. Today, modern pinnacles are made of pine wood. Nevertheless, they retain their characteristic silhouette.
