French city not very well encapsulated in an article there (5)
I believe the answer is:
lille
'french city' is the definition.
(Lille is a city in France)
I don't understand how the rest of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for lille that I've seen before include "Eurostar stop" , "Industrial city of northern France" , "N. French city" , "City of N. France" , "Stop before Paris" .)
