Gossip about the French in holiday accommodation (6)
I believe the answer is:
chalet
'holiday accommodation' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'gossip about the french' is the wordplay.
'gossip' becomes 'chat' (synonyms).
'about' is an insertion indicator.
'the french' becomes 'le' ('the' in French).
'chat' enclosing 'le' is 'CHALET'.
'in' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for chalet that I've seen before include "Wooden house of Alpine regions" , "small house" , "Swiss cottage or small villa" , "Originally an alpine cowherd's hut" , "Wooden house of Swiss origin" .)
