Travels Balzac’s birthplace (5)
I believe the answer is:
tours
This clue is a double definition.
'travels' is the first definition.
(tour is a kind of travel)
'balzac's birthplace' is the second definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
(Other definitions for tours that I've seen before include "French city" , "Capital of France's Indre-et-Loire department" , "Martin's home" , "Travels round -- French 7" , "city in France" .)
