The Lindarets petting zoo

Long before tourists were flocking in mass to the Alpine hamlet of Lindarets, near the French Avoriaz ski resort, and even though I was three and a half years old, I wasn’t afraid of petting goats much bigger than me.

Even though the herd was a fraction of what it is today, I was, unbeknownst to me, ushering “goat marketing” a creative novelty that would make the place so famous a couple of decades later.

So, was I ahead of the curve or simply at the right place, at the right time? Since I tend to be humble, I’d go for the later for the later but still kind of still believe that I was already a trendsetter...
