TV or theatrical set
Usage Note
Plateau covers a wide semantic range: a serving tray, a geographical highland, and a studio or stage set (le plateau de tournage = film set). The plural is plateaux, with the silent final 'x'. The verb plateau is unrelated; the noun's geographical sense names raised flatlands.
Examples
"Elle apportait le plateau du petit-déjeuner."
