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

'european capital?' is the definition.
(capital of France)

I don't understand the rest of the clue.

(Other definitions for paris that I've seen before include "Helen's abductor" , "'I Love - - ', song by 14" , "Legendary prince" , "Prince of Troy - capital city" , "French city" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
