Sage found in Paris, hibernating (5)
I believe the answer is:
rishi
'sage' is the definition.
(term for a Hindu sage)
'in paris hibernating' is the wordplay.
'in' says the answer is hidden in the clue.
'RISHI' can be found hidden inside 'paris hibernating'.
'found' is the link.
(Other definitions for rishi that I've seen before include "Poet" , "Hindu sage or saint" , "Guru" , "holy man" , "Spiritual leader" .)
