Seems to be a hot item in the equestrian world:
https://www.google.com/search?q=menage+manege&oq=menage+manege&aqs=chrome..69i57j69i60.6298j0j7&sourceid=chrome&es_sm=0&ie=UTF-8 Management summary is that manège is correct (it is the proper french word), menage really means something different (household or family group), but Brits have been using the wrong word so much that it has almost become right. Certainly manège (or even the unaccented form manege) would be well recognised in many countries (including the UK, whatever your preference), whereas menage would probably be recognised (with the intended meaning) in the UK and would raise eyebrows everywhere else. --colin On 2015-10-15 22:28, Philip Barnes wrote: > On Thu, 2015-10-15 at 21:14 +0200, Marc Zoutendijk wrote: > Op 15 okt. 2015, om 19:43 heeft Philip Barnes <[email protected] het > volgende geschreven: > On Thu, 2015-10-15 at 16:49 +0100, Dave F. wrote: Hi > > http://www.martincollins.com/Portals/0/Images/menage-surfaces/men > age-surface-martin-collins.jpg > > I'm trying to find an appropriate tag for these areas used to > exercise/train horses.

That is the French meaning. English is different, although the French is widely understood once the phrase is completed. > In French Manège is the word used to descibe the collection of > training facilities for horses, like stables and arenas. > > Also check this: > https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dressage > > I think that what is shown on the photo in the original post is > correctly called Arena.
