Enimie gave its name to this village, classified among the most beautiful in France. The Merovingian princess, daughter of Clotaire II, became a saint of the Catholic Church. The medieval origin of the city is indisputable. Strolling through the old cobbled streets of this village is a constantly renewed pleasure.
Sainte-Enimie is also a very good starting point for descents of the Tarn gorges by kayak and canoe.

The enchanting village of Sainte-Enimie, which lies in the heart of the remarkable gorges of the Tarn and is one of the most beautiful villages in France, is a wonderful place for long walks. The picturesque cobblestone streets with their limestone houses and vaulted passages, the Romanesque church Notre-Dame-du-Gourg, the source of Burle, whose miraculous healing powers are said to have healed the Merovingian princess Enimie in the 6th century, and the former Benedictine monastery, of which still the chapel and the chapter house have been preserved, making the village a popular destination for friends of old stone.

The village of Sainte-Enimie, situated at the top of a bend in the river Tarn, is also an ideal starting point for a canoe or kayak descent on the Tarn or a hike in the surrounding nature, especially on the steep path that leads to the hermitage cave, into which the holy Enimie withdrew at the end of her life.
