Caught flamboyant driver reversing on Riviera (6)
I believe the answer is:
cannes
'riviera' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are singular nouns.
Maybe you can see a link between them that I can't see?
'caught flamboyant driver reversing on' is the wordplay.
'caught flamboyant' becomes 'c' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'driver' becomes 'senna' (racing driver Ayrton Senna, c960-c994).
'reversing' says the letters should be written backwards.
'on' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'senna' in reverse letter order is 'annes'.
'c'+'annes'='CANNES'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for cannes that I've seen before include "Film festival resort on the French Riviera" , "City in the French Riviera" , "Fr. film festival resort" , "French Med resort" , "An annual film festival is held here" .)
