Go around cutting fruit in French city (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

limoges

'french city' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'go around cutting fruit' is the wordplay.
'around' indicates anagramming the letters.
'cutting' indicates putting letters inside (some letters cut their way into a word).
'fruit' becomes 'limes' ().
'go' anagrammed gives 'og'.
'og' going into 'limes' is 'LIMOGES'.

'in' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for limoges that I've seen before include "French city noted for enamels and porcelain" , "French city known for its porcelain" , "French commune" , "French porcelain centre" , "foreign city" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
