Game that gets the French going round a monument? (8)
I believe the answer is:
lacrosse
'game' is the definition.
(lacrosse is a kind of game)
'the french going round a monument?' is the wordplay.
'the french' becomes 'le'.
'going round' indicates putting letters inside.
'monument?' becomes 'cross'.
'a'+'cross'='across'
'le' going around 'across' is 'LACROSSE'.
'that gets' is the link.
(Other definitions for lacrosse that I've seen before include "Game played with a netted stick" , "Game played with nets on sticks" , "Game played with netted sticks" , "Score's uncertain after the Spanish" , "Sport played with sticks" .)
