Bill takes the water in Vichy, creating a scene (7)
I believe the answer is:
tableau
'a scene' is the definition.
(I know that tableau is a type of scene)
'bill takes the water in vichy' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'bill' could be 'tab' (a tab is a bill at a bar) and 'tab' is found in the answer.
'water' could be 'eau' (I have seen 'French water ' mean 'eau' so perhaps 'water' could also mean 'eau') and 'eau' is found within the answer.
A single letter 'l' remains which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
'creating' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for tableau that I've seen before include "Scene of still figures" , "Dramatic setting" , "Dramatic scene (where the action is frozen?)" , "dramatic picture" , "Dramatic scene - spectacle" .)
