In France the European capital turning shameless (6)

I believe the answer is:

amoral

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

'shameless' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'in france the european capital turning' is the wordplay.
'in france the' becomes 'la' (French of 'the').
'european capital' becomes 'roma' (Roma is an example. I am not sure about the 'european' bit.).
'turning' says the letters should be written backwards.
'la'+'roma'='laroma'
'laroma' reversed gives 'AMORAL'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for amoral that I've seen before include "Lacking any ethical sense" , "Unscrupulous" , "Having no standards of right or wrong" , "Without sense of right and wrong" , "Without an ethical code" .)
