The video shows goats walking between shops, interacting with tourists and even trying to enter a restaurant. Locals explain that the animals have been part of life in this Haute-Savoie hamlet for generations, especially during the summer grazing season.

The goats belong to a local farmer who brings his herds to the mountain pastures from mid-May until the end of September.

Their presence has become a key part of Les Lindarets’ identity.

The village has restricted traffic during peak hours to preserve its traditional atmosphere and allow the goats to continue roaming freely.
