I believe the answer is:

centime

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

'old french bread' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both related to property as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps there's a link between them I don't understand?

'bagged by adolescent i meet' is the wordplay.
'bagged by' indicates a hidden word (the solution is bagged up or contained by the clue).
'CENTIME' is hidden in the letters of 'adolescent i meet'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for centime that I've seen is " Small French coin".)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
