Maybe it's time for a break, but I can't seem to get to grips with this sentence at all, from a tourist website:
Les communes de Montier-en-Der et de Ceffonds forment une étape dans la route de la fonte qui expose la production monumentale des usines métallurgiques de la région (Sommevoire et Val d’Osne).
Anyone undertand what they're getting at? Many thanks for any advice...

tourist trail
Quite a French thing, I think - if this is foundry country, there will be a number of such places, so this is one step on the tourist trail locally. For those keen tourists who are interested in the history of metalwork.
hope this helps.

exposer - I'd use something general like 'puts on display', 'demonstrates', 'exhibits' or one of many other options. You 'expose' paintings in a gallery, for example.

Joanne Nebbia
: Think you could use "where you can see" rather than the direct tense translation of exposer in this context :)

: or maybe even industrial trail to get over some notion of the "fonte" - and perhaps highlights or focuses on for "expose"
