THE BURLE SOURCE

The Burle spring is a karstic vauclusian-type resurgence.
Its water, rich in copper salts, gives it this blue color — the origin point of the legend of Saint Enimie.

The Legend of Sainte-Enimie

Daughter of the King of the Franks and sister of the “good King Dagobert,” Enimie, a chaste princess as beautiful as she was devout, found in the waters of the Burle spring a cure for the terrible leprosy that was consuming her. She settled near this benevolent fountain and founded an abbey, which would become the origin of the present-day village.
Her legend has come down to us thanks to a poem in medieval Occitan: “La vida de Santa Enimia”, composed in the 13th century by Bertran de Marseilha, a learned monk of said monastery.
