In France, it's a bit of our mace, perhaps (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

morceau

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'in france it's a bit' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'our mace perhaps' is the wordplay.
'perhaps' indicates an anagram.
'our'+'mace'='ourmace'
'ourmace' with letters rearranged gives 'MORCEAU'.

'of' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for morceau that I've seen before include "Fragment; short literary composition" , "piece of music" , "Mime artist" , "Fragment, morsel (French); EC amour (anag.)" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
