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

'where on the riviera' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.

'one has to live among social crawlers?' is the wordplay.
'one' becomes 'i' (Roman numeral).
'has' says to put letters next to each other.
'to live' becomes 'be' (synonyms).
'among' indicates putting letters inside.
'social crawlers?' becomes 'ants' (I've seen this in another clue).
'i'+'be'='ibe'
'ibe' inserted into 'ants' is 'ANTIBES'.

Can you help me to learn more?
