Where a pal is to be found on the floor? (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

palais

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'be found on the floor?' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot judge whether this works.

'where a pal is' is the wordplay.
'where' indicates an anagram (I've seen this in other clues).
'a'+'pal'='apal'
'apal' is an anagram of 'pala'.
'pala'+'is'='PALAIS'

'to' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for palais that I've seen is " dance-hall".)
