Flamboyant love aboard boat in Antibes (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

baroque

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'antibes' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'flamboyant love aboard boat' is the wordplay.
'flamboyant love' becomes 'o' (love means zero in tennis. I am not sure about the 'flamboyant' bit.).
'aboard' indicates putting letters inside.
'boat' becomes 'barque' (barque is a kind of sailing vessel).
'o' put into 'barque' is 'BAROQUE'.

'in' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for baroque that I've seen before include "17th century style" , "Florid" , "Elaborately ornamented" , "Extravagantly ornamented" , "With elaborate ornamentation" .)
