The Burle spring, said to be miraculous, is at the heart of the legend of Saint Enimie. According to her, the young Merovingian princess, suffering from leprosy, bathed there three times. She was cured and understood that her fate was linked to the banks of the Tarn. She settled there and founded a small monastery for men and women. The Burle spring thus took on capital importance in the development of the monastery and the place called Burlatis, now called Saint Enimie.
Enimie
Laden with copper salts that give it its distinctive blue color, the main virtue of this water is to treat skin diseases in people and animals (ringworm in particular). According to tradition, a simple cloth soaked in Burle water is enough to relieve eczema and other dermatitis. Of the Vaucluse type, the spring gushed forth during floods, forming large eddies. In 1934, a catchment system was installed to supply the village with drinking water.
Today, no geologist has been able to pinpoint the exact origin of the spring, but cavers have discovered a sinkhole, 45 meters below the level of the Tarn.
However, its water volume depends little on the rainfall in the causse.
The clarity of the basin is deceptive. The depth at its center actually reaches 6 to 7 meters. It is one of the most important resurgences feeding the Tarn.

source de Burle, dite miraculeuse, est au coeur de la légende de
sainte Enimie. Selon elle, la jeune princesse mérovingienne, atteinte de
la lèpre,s'y baigna par trois fois. fut guérie et comprit que son sort était
lie aux rives du Tarn. Elle s'installa et fonda un petit moutier
(monastère) d'hommes et de femmes.
La source de Burle prend ainsi une importance capitale dans le
developpement du monastère et du lieu-dit Burlatis, aujourd hui Sainte.
