Charlie books ticket back to France, getting gite (7)
I believe the answer is:
cottage
'gite' is the definition.
(I know that gite can be written as cottage)
'charlie books ticket back to france' is the wordplay.
'charlie' becomes 'C' (phonetic alphabet).
'books' becomes 'OT' (Old Testament).
'ticket' becomes 'tag' (I've seen this in another clue).
'back to' says to take the final letters.
The last letter of 'france' is 'e'.
'c'+'ot'+'tag'+'e'='COTTAGE'
'getting' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for cottage that I've seen before include "simple accommodation" , "Small one-storied house" , "Rural house" , "Small living space" , "building" .)
