history

When Arelate became a colony in the 3rd century , the Saint-Andiol area was part of it. Later, the village was probably built around an unknown religious place dedicated to Saint-Andiol .

The original name of the village was Andeol . It appeared under the name Saint-Andéol in the 17th century . It can therefore be assumed that today's name is still relatively young.
