AB - It is well-known that a based space is of the weak homotopy type of a loop space iff it is a grouplike algebra over an $A_\infty $-operad. The classical model for such an operad consists of Stasheff’s associahedra. The present paper describes a similar recognition principle for free loop spaces. Let ${\mathcal {P}}$ be an operad, $M$ a ${\mathcal {P}}$-module and $U$ a ${\mathcal {P}}$-algebra. An $M$-trace over $U$ consists of a space $V$ and a module homomorphism $T:M\rightarrow \text{End}_{U,V}$ over the operad homomorphism ${\mathcal {P}}\rightarrow \text{End}_U$ given by the algebra structure on $U$. Let ${\mathcal {C}}_1$ be the little 1-cubes operad.The author shows that the free loop space $\wedge X$ is a trace over the ${\mathcal {C}}_1$-space $\Omega X$. This trace is related to the cyclohedra in a way similar to the relation of ${\mathcal {C}}_1$ to the associahedra. Given a ${\mathcal {P}}$-module $M$ and a ${\mathcal {P}}$-algebra $U$ one can define the free $M$-trace over $U$ like one can construct free ${\mathcal {P}}$-al!
