French town resettled by Danes (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sedan

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

'french town' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't see how one could define the other.

'resettled by danes' is the wordplay.
'danes' can be anagrammed to 'SEDAN'.
However, I am not clear how the anagram is indicated.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for sedan that I've seen before include "Dean's in an old conveyance" , "Chair; car" , "Covered seat carried by bearers" , "American car" , "A closed litter for one passenger" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
