Lives with the French on Skye, perhaps (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

isle

'skye perhaps' is the definition.
(Isle of Skye is an example)

'lives with the french' is the wordplay.
'lives' becomes 'is' ('be' can be a synonym of 'live').
'with' says to put letters next to each other.
'the french' becomes 'le' ('the' in French).
'is'+'le'='ISLE'

'on' is the link.

(Other definitions for isle that I've seen before include "I shall hear" , "Of Man or Youth, for example" , "Insular place" , "Eg, Sheppey" , "See 10 Down" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
