French city of the miser, perhaps (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

reims

'french city' is the definition.
(city in France)

'miser perhaps' is the wordplay.
'perhaps' indicates an anagram.
'miser' is an anagram of 'REIMS'.

'of the' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for reims that I've seen before include "City, the traditional site for crowning French kings" , "city in NE France" , "City of northeast France" , "Champagne capital (variant spelling)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Independent.
