What does the cryptic crossword clue "Dictator's stone castle, somewhere in France (9)" mean?

The definition is "somewhere in France". The wordplay uses a homophone (sounds like). Homophone of “rock fort”, though I would never pronounce the final T of the placename or the cheese named after it. Thanks to commenters: the homophone is just “rock” = ROQUE, followed by FORT=castle. The answer is ROQUEFORT.
