France drought update: all but two departments facing restrictions or warnings on tap water use

The village, named Sainte-Enimie after a Merovingian princess, is located in a gorge. It was France's eighteenth favourite village in 2014 and dates back to medieval times.

It features a monastery, little paved roads and little squares typical of its time.

Legend has it that princess Enimie was cured of leprosy three times thanks to the local spring water (hence the country cure clue).

Can you guess where it is located?
