Regret expressed in the French way (3)

I believe the answer is:

rue

I believe this is a double definition.

'regret' is the first definition.
(to rue something is to regret it)

'the french way' is the second definition.
('road' or 'street' in French)

'expressed in' is the link.

(Other definitions for rue that I've seen before include "Swann's way?" , "way Parisians go about" , "Regret or repent" , "Bemoan" , "Regret in a French street" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail and The Guardian.
