Tenant of the French bishop’s place (6)
I believe the answer is:
lessee
'tenant' is the definition.
(lessee is a kind of tenant)
'the french bishop's place' is the wordplay.
'the french' becomes 'les' (les is the in french).
'bishop's place' becomes 'see' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'les'+'see'='LESSEE'
'of' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for lessee that I've seen before include "Person who holds building on contract for specified time" , "One granted temporary use of property" , "One renting a property" , "Who pays the rent" , "Tenant with a contract" .)
