sentier multifonctionnel : Le terme «sentier multifonctionnel» constitue une impropriété étant donné que l'adjectif «multifonctionnel» peut difficilement s'appliquer à un sentier. Cet adjectif se dit d'un appareil, d'une machine, d'un produit ou d'une chose qui remplit plusieurs fonctions ou qui détient plusieurs propriétés. Or un sentier a essentiellement une seule fonction : servir de voie de communication. 3, record 1, French, - sentier%20polyvalent
