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.
