Friend in Paris clever and approachable (7)
I believe the answer is:
amiable
'approachable' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'friend in paris clever' is the wordplay.
'friend in paris' becomes 'ami' ('friend' in French).
'clever' becomes 'able' (able can mean skilled or talented).
'ami'+'able'='AMIABLE'
'and' is the link.
(Other definitions for amiable that I've seen before include "Lovable, friendly" , "Of sweet and friendly disposition" , "'Friendly, pleasant and good-tempered (7)'" , "Good-humoured" , "Friendly and good-natured (7)" .)
