europeans

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

'park for cezanne even is small?' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'for example the english capital and' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'english' could be 'e' (abbreviation) and 'e' is located in the answer.
'and' could be 'n' (common abbreviation for 'and') and 'n' is found in the answer.
'example' could be 'as' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'as' is found within the remaining letters.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for europeans that I've seen before include "Frenchmen, Irishwomen, for instance" , "Irish and French people, say" , "The French and Italians, say" , "Continentals" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
