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

This clue might be a double definition.

'language in which' is the first definition.
'French' can be an answer for 'language' (French is an example). I am unsure of the remainder of the definition.

'leave perhaps?' is the second definition.
'French' can be an answer for 'leave' (thesaurus). I am not certain of the 'perhaps?' bit.

'to take' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for french that I've seen before include "Take this leave without permission" , "The losers at Agincourt" , "- Cricket; - dressing" , "Shellac dissolved in alcohol, used on furniture" , "Continental language (Polish?)" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
