WorldCards: Travel Atlas

Every place you visit becomes a card worth collecting. Walk up to a peak, a château, a village, and collect it as a hand-drawn vintage travel poster. No photos, no filters: a real poster, drawn for that one place. ONE CARD PER PLACE, COLLECTED ON SITE Over 2,000 places across France: monuments, peaks, villages, UNESCO World Heritage sites. No card can be had from the sofa. You have to travel there, and GPS confirms you did. That is the whole difference between a travel collection and a wish list. THE ART IS THE PRODUCT Every card is an original poster, drawn for that one place in the golden age of travel-poster art. The kind of image you would actually frame. Your collection reads like a wall of posters from every landmark you have visited, not like a page of statistics. SETS TO COMPLETE Châteaux of the Loire. Bridges of Paris. Alpine lakes. Vauban's fortresses. Every region and theme forms a set to finish, one visit at a time. A reason to take the detour on your next trip. COMMON, RARE, EPIC, LEGENDARY A place's rarity is the same for every player, and never for sale. Just eighteen cards in all of France are legendary. Finding them takes real travel. A SOUVENIR, NOT A CHECKLIST A travel journal has to be filled in by hand, and usually is not. Here the souvenir collects itself: you arrive, the card scratches open, and it joins your collection. The best souvenir of a place you visited is the poster you would have bought in the gift shop. FOR THE SUNDAY WALK AS MUCH AS THE BIG TRIP French heritage is not only the famous monuments. WorldCards also covers the villages, lakes, peaks and bridges that the sightseeing guides leave out, often a few kilometres from home. A hiking afternoon is a collecting trip like any other. A MAP OF WHAT IS WORTH THE DETOUR Open the app and the landmarks near you appear on a hand-styled map. Not a sightseeing list scraped from reviews, but 2,000 places chosen one by one for being worth the walk: a hilltop village, a Roman aqueduct, a lake at the end of a hiking trail. Plenty sit within an afternoon of home. CLIMB THE EXPLORER RANKS Your profile is not a scoreboard, it is a credential: a rank built from the ground you have actually covered, region by region. YOUR LOCATION NEVER LEAVES YOUR PHONE GPS is used only to show the places around you and to confirm a collection on site. It is never stored, never transmitted, and never used in the background. No movement tracking, ever. WorldCards means world cards, one country at a time. It works today anywhere in France, including Corsica. More countries to follow.
