Away from France (3)
I believe the answer is:
off
'away' is the definition.
('off' can be a synonym of 'away')
'from france' is the wordplay.
'from' becomes 'of' (I've seen this in other clues).
'france' becomes 'f'.
'of'+'f'='OFF'
(Other definitions for off that I've seen before include "Spoiled; unavailable" , "On holiday" , "Fielding side" , "High; cancelled" , "Complete (6,3) - See 14" .)
