adieu

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'you in france' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.

'a lady leading the european union?' is the wordplay.
'a lady' becomes 'adi'.
'leading' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'the european union?' becomes 'eu'.
'adi'+'eu'='ADIEU'

'see' is the link.

(Other definitions for adieu that I've seen before include "the last word in France" , "Farewell, adios" , "Goodbye, monsieur" , "Farewell (French)" , "Farewell, Monsieur!" .)
