Talk about the French wooden house (6)
I believe the answer is:
chalet
'wooden house' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'talk about the french' is the wordplay.
'talk' becomes 'chat' (I've seen this in another clue).
'about' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'the french' becomes 'le' ('the' in French).
'chat' placed around 'le' is 'CHALET'.
(Other definitions for chalet that I've seen before include "Originally an alpine cowherd's hut" , "Wooden villa" , "A Swiss mountain cottage" , "wooden hut" , "Swiss hut or cottage" .)
