Can anyone help with the following clue:

36 across. Old dear geting out of bed shortly a la francaise (4).

I have LE?E for the answer

Thanks

Leve

Levee means "getting out of bed"

Leve ?

Variant spelling of “lief”, archaic “dear”.

99% done. Need help parsing 29Dn. I have the grid entry and what I assume must be the original answer and extra letter but cannot parse at all…

Still got highlighting to find. Doesn’t seem linked to the theme of my message is correct?

*if my message is correct

H1982, if you write the address in letters, with your extra letter in it to start with, you should see where the clue answer comes from...

Say the clue out loud!

Just write out the initials + the full number in the postcode, and delete the extra 'n'.
