Like many cities in France, Fretin called on a company to equip itself with a health trail.

Installed between fields and woods, it has several pieces of equipment and stages during which you have to perform physical exercises.

Everything is explained with the help of wooden panels with pictograms showing the actions to be reproduced.

"Between parallel bars" and "parallel bar"

Our reader was thus amused by the pictogram describing the “softening of the trunk” which can give the image of two people in an ambiguous situation.

Another panel has caught the attention of this mischievous reader: the parallel bars.

He would rather have seen it written "parallel bar", his brain imagining two people leaning on a counter rather than two sportsmen in full effort.

, the manufacturer of street furniture quickly understood which panels we were talking about.

"We had only one comment on this subject when we have installed this course in 150 or 200 municipalities", we are assured.
