Go in van, maybe, to French bridge (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

avignon

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

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

'go in van maybe' is the wordplay.
'maybe' indicates an anagram.
'go'+'in'+'van'='goinvan'
'goinvan' with letters rearranged gives 'AVIGNON'.

'to' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for avignon that I've seen before include "where bridge is noted" , "Les Demoiselles d'here, Picasso" , "Where some French danced" , "Provence city" , "palace and bridge found here in France" .)
