I believe the answer is:

champs elysees

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

'famous avenue' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot judge whether it can be defined by this definition.

'church in the morning on top of that cathedral city views' is the wordplay.
'church in the morning on top of' becomes 'champs' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'that cathedral city' becomes 'Ely' (English city with a cathedral).
'views' becomes 'sees' ('see' can be a synonym of 'view').
'champs'+'ely'+'sees'='CHAMPS-ELYSEES'

'showing' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for champs elysees that I've seen before include "Parisian way" , "way, overseas" , "route to The Arc" , "elegant thoroughfare in Paris" , "Heaven in Paris?" .)
