Automobile town in France (5)
I believe the answer is:
sedan
'automobile' is the definition.
(sedan is a kind of automobile)
I cannot understand how the rest of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for sedan that I've seen before include "Saloon-car" , "Four-door car" , "Andes (anag.)" , "Old carrier chair for Danes" , "Type of chair - battle" .)
