gander

'look' is the definition.
(informal term for a look or glance)

'back at horse of french king' is the wordplay.
'back at horse' becomes 'gan' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'of french' becomes 'de' ('of' in French).
'king' becomes 'R' (abbreviation for rex, king in Latin).
'gan'+'de'+'r'='GANDER'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for gander that I've seen before include "He has webbed feet" , "glance" , "Butchers - goose" , "Male bird - look" , "Male goose; look (colloq.)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
