Journey westward among trees in French city (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

limoges

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

'journey westward among trees' is the wordplay.
'journey' becomes 'go' (journey means to go or travel).
'westward' is a reversal indicator.
'among' means one lot of letters goes inside another (inserted letters are placed among others).
'trees' becomes 'limes' (lime is a kind of tree).
'go' written backwards gives 'og'.
'og' put within 'limes' is 'LIMOGES'.

'in' acts as a link.

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

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
