Yet to fill beaker, oddly, or jug in France (8)

I believe the answer is:

bastille

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

'jug in france' is the definition.
'bastille' can be an answer for 'jug' (thesaurus). I am not sure about the 'in france' bit.

'yet to fill beaker oddly' is the wordplay.
'yet' becomes 'still' (synonyms).
'to fill' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'oddly' means one should take alternating letters (letters in odd-numbered positions).
The alternating letters of 'beaker' are 'bae'.
'still' going inside 'bae' is 'BASTILLE'.

'or' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?
