Question

Do you use the word "plage" and what does it mean?

Thank you!

Answer

It's the French for beach (pronounced plazh), so it's possible to hear it used in English in the UK, as many people study French at school.

Also, according to the Oxford English dictionary, it means an unusually bright spot on the sun.

plage  
noun Astronomy an unusually bright region on the sun.

ORIGIN
	C19: from French, literally 'beach'.

Answer

Do you mean plague? Plage means a fashionable beach according to my dictionary, but I’ve never heard it used.
