Overview
Welcome to the "Trace across the world" project
Objective
The Trace mascot is equipped with a tracking system to follow its trail around the globe. Setting out from Lyon in France in October 2023, Trace will travel around the world, passing from hand to hand among the carriers who will take her on her journey.
How does it work?
The Trace itinerary is defined and passes through symbolic stopover towns around the world.
Mind you, Trace has decided to make this long journey without flying and will have to take the boat to cross the oceans!
On this site, you'll be able to:
- follow the mascot's journey
- learn more about the project
- join the Trace community's Instagram page
- join the WhatsApp group to help find future carriers for Trace
For reasons of confidentiality, the location displayed is approximate to within 2km, so that the wearer cannot be precisely located.

- Are you going in the right direction in the next few days? Keep Trace with you and take her forward as best you can. It's okay if you don't make it exactly to the next destination. The important thing is to get Trace moving in the right direction.
Even a few kilometers are a big help to Trace! On the way, it would be great if you could take a photo or video of yourself with the mascot Trace in front of a place you particularly like and would like to show us! And remember: Trace doesn't fly!
- You don't think you can help Trace move on? Don't panic! Go straight to the next step.
Now it's time to pass the baton. Look for someone you know who will go in the right direction to bring Trace closer to his next destination.
