Causes displeasure somewhere in France (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

angers

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

'causes' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both acts as well as being plural nouns.
Perhaps there's an association between them I don't understand?

'displeasure somewhere in france' is the wordplay.
'displeasure' becomes 'anger' (I've seen this in another clue).
'somewhere in france' becomes 's' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'anger'+'s'='ANGERS'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for angers that I've seen before include "annoys" , "Maine city" , "Infuriates" , "Maddens" , "Riles" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
