Article about wine circle touring grand Provençal location (7)
I believe the answer is:
avignon
'provencal location' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.
'article about wine circle touring grand' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'article' could be 'a' (English indefinite article) and 'a' is present in the answer.
'about' could be 'on' (as in a book 'on' a certain topic) and 'on' is found in the answer.
'grand' could be 'g' (G is short for grand as in a thousand) and 'g' is present in the answer.
'wine' could be 'vin' ('wine' in French) and 'vin' is located in the remaining letters.
This accounts for all the letters.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
