European republic; capital Paris (6)

I believe the answer is:

france

(Other definitions for france that I've seen before include "One of the six original members of the European Economic Community" , "Anatole ---, Fr. novelist" , "State" , "Land of Bordeaux and Burgundy" , "Can ref travel badly here?" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
