This is from a contract for hiring a plot for your mobile home on a French camp site - the section describing what the holidaymakers / residents can and cannot do:
Il est interdit de mettre des etendages a linge autre que des petits etendoirs portatifs type "tancarville".
Could someone at least describe this object (in French would be OK).
I would imagine it is a type of drying frame or similar.

Tancarville-style drying rack
Just to add the precision that an "étendoir" is a drying rack and not exactly the same thing as a "corde à linge" (clothes line).
