French term

trèdres

French to English Marketing Tourism & Travel Walking trail description by information board (relais infos services)
"L'histoire et le patrimoine de Vouhenans sont mis en valeur par des trèdres communiquant sur l'église, le calvaire, les fontaines, les lavoirs, les anciens fours à chaux du village."

Wondering if this is a typo and should read "trèdres" (trihedron) to describe the shape of an information panel, or whether it is a specific term.

Thanks!

I agree with Gordon - at the moment I don't feel that I can grade either of the two answers given.
Gordon Matthews Apr 9, 2019:
triangular display stand Neither 'trihedral' nor 'trihedrons' means much to me, whereas I have a fairly clear idea of what a 'triangular display stand' might be, so I would suggest to Rachel Fell that she post this as an answer.
Rachel Fell Apr 9, 2019:
triangular display stand, perhaps
Katia Cherel (asker) Apr 8, 2019:
Thank you! Yes, that photo is hard evidence there, Lucy. I appreciate the research and promptness!
Tony M Apr 8, 2019:
Typo likely I agree with Lucy: almost certainly a 'trièdre' — I assume these are the vertical 'triangular prism' pillars often used for information panels, presumably for visibility, strength, and display area vs. compact size.
Lucy Galbraith Apr 8, 2019:
It does seem to be a typo I can find this text elsewhere, with "trièdres" rather than "trèdres". I think you're correct, and it's describing the shape of the panel. The following page features a photo of one of these panels, which indeed appears to be a trihedron! https://www.france-voyage.com/francia-ciudades/vouhenans-281...

Thank you Gareth :-)
agree Tony M : Yes... except that many of these terms would not suit Asker's context, which makes them seem more like robust outdoor 'pillers'

Thank you Tony: yes, they may be wooden stands or posts, but the other terms may help for other circumstances
