French location in many papers reported (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

reims

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

'french location' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.

'many papers reported' is the wordplay.
'many papers' becomes 'reams' (a ream is a large amount of paper).
'reported' shows a homophone (sound like).
'reams' is a homophone of 'REIMS'.

'in' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

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

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
