Back in Paris, I annoy local French citizen (8)
I believe the answer is:
lyonnais
'french citizen' is the definition.
(someone from Lyon)
'back in paris i annoy local' is the wordplay.
'back' says the letters should be written backwards.
'in' indicates a hidden word.
'siannoyl' is hidden in the letters of 'paris i annoy local'.
'siannoyl' in reverse letter order is 'LYONNAIS'.
(Another definition for lyonnais that I've seen is " old French province".)
I've seen this clue in The Times.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
