Way of living provided in the French fashion (9)

I believe the answer is:

lifestyle

'way of living' is the definition.
(I know that way of living can be written as lifestyle)

'provided in the french fashion' is the wordplay.
'provided' becomes 'if' (eg 'provided it's sunny' means 'if it's sunny').
'in' indicates putting letters inside.
'the french' becomes 'le' ('the' in French).
'fashion' becomes 'style' (synonyms).
'if' going inside 'le' is 'life'.
'life'+'style'='LIFESTYLE'

(Another definition for lifestyle that I've seen is " behaviour".)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
