“Mischievous child has the French back to drive (5)“.
This clue is a bit of a wordplay cocktail, combining a playful reference to a mischievous child with a geographical twist. It’s definitely not your straightforward “what’s the capital of France?” type of question.

The “French back” seems to suggest something related to France, potentially a geographical location or a French word. And then we have “to drive,” which could imply a type of vehicle or an action.
The number 5 is our final clue, indicating the number of letters in the answer.
