I believe the answer is:

ukelele

'instrument?' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'ultimately see two french articles following country' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'country' could be 'uk' (UK is an example) and 'uk' is found within the answer.
This may be the basis of clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for ukelele that I've seen before include "Small four-stringed guitar" , "Hawaiian four-stringed guitar" , "Small guitar with four strings" , "George Formby's instrument" , "This is instrumental" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
