Catalogue information
The village of Ste-Enimie owes its name to Enimie Merovingian princess, daughter of Clotaire II and sister of King Dagobert. Wonderfully beautiful, she rejects all marriage proposals from princes of her rank to devote herself to God. By order of the King, she was engaged to be married but immediately struck down with leprosy. Guided by an angel, she goes to Gévaudan where the waters of the Fountain of Burle deliver her from her terrible illness. She remained in this place where she founded a monastery, fought against the devil and ended her life there in holiness. His relics are still venerated there today in the Emitage Grotto. At the bottom of this steep rock is the village of Sainte-Enimie.
