FaunaThe beaver
Proof that I have been here might be a tree carved into a pencil shape; pieces of bark; wood chips; a heap of branches in the water; back or front paw prints in the sand. I’m the Eurasian beaver. I live near water. I’m active mostly at night, and sometimes at dawn and dusk if no-one disturbs me. From the Middle Ages (11th century) to the 19th century, times were hard for us. We were hunted by humans for our flesh, fur and because we were thought a nuisance. In the early 20th century, we had disappeared from many parts of France. Today, things are better – we live alongside and in the Tarn again.

HistoryOutdoor-activity centre
The national outdoor-activity centre in Sainte-Énimie is owned by the Fédération française de sports pour tous. For 50 years, the Federation has been committed to introducing the largest possible number of people to physical activities. In 1968, after the land had been bought, several groups of youths helped to restore two houses as well as build the toilet block and the footbridge. Over the years, many additions have been made: accommodation block, multipurpose room, restaurant and fitness building. Today, the centre covers 32 hectares and 1.5 km of riverbank. It welcomes all types of visitors and enables everyone to practice outdoor activities.
Description
- Turn left onto the path towards Castelbouc. It goes downhill towards the riverbank. Follow it for 1.5 km, to the outdoor-activities centre.
- By the submersible bridge, take the road on the right that goes uphill towards the centre’s reception. Continue straight ahead and veer slightly right after the buildings.
- Take on your right the path that runs above the centre. Go uphill, always turning left until you reach the upper path.
