Saint-Selve: Holiday Apartments and Holiday Homes

In Saint-Selve, a raised earth embankment bears witness to a road that linked Bordeaux (Burdigala) with Dax (Aquae Tarbellicae) and Toulouse (Tolosa); it is sometimes identified with the Chemin Gallien. The Chemin Gallien is also associated with a local legend according to which the devil created the route overnight at the request of a desperate young man.

When planning a personal trip, the desire to rent a holiday apartment in Saint-Selve may be the main focus.
