Marketing - Tourism & Travel / Walking trail description by information board (relais infos services)
French term or phrase: trèdres
"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!

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
