Foreign inn — a bug ’ere is awful (7)

I believe the answer is:

auberge

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

'foreign inn' is the definition.
'auberge' can be an answer for 'inn' (type of inn or hotel in France). I'm not sure about the 'foreign' bit.

'a bug 'ere is awful' is the wordplay.
'is awful' indicates an anagram.
'bug'+'ere'='bugere'
'bugere' anagrammed gives 'uberge'.
'a'+'uberge'='AUBERGE'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for auberge that I've seen before include "Hotel" , "(French) inn or tavern" , "Continental inn" , "Local" , "restaurant" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
