An opening for camaraderie in US city or French city (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

nancy

'french city' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'an opening for camaraderie in us city' is the wordplay.
'opening for' indicates taking the first letters.
'in' indicates putting letters inside.
'us city' becomes 'ny' (short for New York).
The initial letter of 'camaraderie' is 'c'.
'an'+'c'='anc'
'anc' inserted within 'ny' is 'NANCY'.

'or' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for nancy that I've seen before include "City in Europe" , "Fruit" , "Note this French city" , "No Man" , "Dickensian character who died" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
