I believe the answer is:

brioche

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

'roll in france?' is the definition.
'brioche' can be an answer for 'roll' (brioche is a kind of roll). I'm unsure of the 'in france?' bit.

'could sort of choir be a' is the wordplay.
'choir be' anagrams to 'BRIOCHE'.
However, I am not clear how this is indicated.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for brioche that I've seen before include "Soft loaf, rich with butter and eggs" , "Sponge cake or roll" , "Light sweetish roll" , "Hire cob (anag) - bread" , "Light cake-like loaf or roll" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
