Walkable World Map

A map of the world helps us visualize the location of the fascinating places around the world where Yann Arthus-Bertrand took his photos. Locations are indicated on the walk-on map together with their geographic coordinates. The map is a favorite playground for children of all ages who learn about geography and other cultures simply by walking it. A lesson about interconnectedness and our home, the world map helps us understand that we are all world citizens.
