Talk about the French kind of house (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

chalet

'kind of house' is the definition.
(I know that chalet is a type of house)

'talk about the french' is the wordplay.
'talk' becomes 'chat' (chat can mean to talk).
'about' indicates putting letters inside.
'the french' becomes 'le' ('the' in French).
'chat' going around 'le' is 'CHALET'.

(Other definitions for chalet that I've seen before include "Wooden villa" , "Kind of mountain cabin in Switzerland" , "Swiss hut or cottage" , "Swiss summer hut" , "The lac (anag.)" .)

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