Meaning : To leave or be absent from some type of social situation or obligation without asking for permission
E.g :
One Friday morning, Johnny's friend Stan stops by Johnny's house on the way to school to pick Johnny up for school. It is a beautiful spring day. It is warm and the sun is shining. Stan asks Johnny if he really wants to go to school. Johnny replies...
"Not really. Let's take French leave today."
Even though both boys will get into trouble from their parents and the school authorities, the wonderful spring day is too much of a temptation.
