Arès, Bassin d'Arcachon. Imagine: You are an alien in a flying saucer, traveling for light-years, and when it's time to land on Earth… nothing. Not a single quiet parking spot. Fortunately, Arès has thought of everything since 1976. On the initiative of the then mayor Christian Raymond and Bob Cotten – UFO enthusiast and employee of Mérignac airport – this crazy but brilliant idea was born: a UFO landing pad on the Esplanade Georges Dartiguelongue, right on the beach. The inauguration took place on August 15, 1976, as part of the Oyster Festival, with great pomp (and oyster shells). A joke? Oh no… A… intergalactic facility. At the time, it was just an open space, ready to receive the first flying saucer passing by.

Andernos and its small port! Really a great place to eat oysters and be quiet (compared to Arcachon!)

The Church of Saint-Eloi is of Romanesque origin. Its original plan included an apse, preceded by a straight span, a nave and a transept. Two aisles were added, as well as a late 19th century bell tower, placed east of the Romanesque apse. The Romanesque carved decoration from the beginning of the 12th century is of high quality: capitals decorated with water leaves, cornices carved with interlacing, palmettes, florets. The north apse is covered with wall paintings from the end of the Middle Ages. On a background strewn with stars and flowers of carnations or lilies, made with a stencil, we can especially distinguish three kneeling or standing figures who hold an animal or objects which are perhaps candles.
