Yes thanks hirselina, I'd worked that out! Thanks again :-)

No spaces between the words? Then it's not a typo, the "s" from "des" simply belongs to "entiers" "14 km DE sentiers" is the correct form in French.

I think it's a typo for "sentiers douaniers" - the brochure is unfinished, so there are no spaces between the words on the PDF I'm translating from, which is a bit of an unprecedented nightmare, but this makes sense - "de sentiers..." rather than "des entiers...". Thanks to all of you for your help!

entrepôts douaniers? - sounds like a typo
