..in Paris, she can go either way! (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

elle

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

'in paris she' is the definition.
('she' in French)

'go either way' is the wordplay.
'go either' becomes 'ell' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'way' becomes 'e' (Compass direction - East).
'ell'+'e'='ELLE'

'can' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for elle that I've seen before include "Ms MacPherson, supermodel" , "French word for 'she'" , "Fashion magazine - the French "She"" , "World's best-selling fashion magazine" , "Is she in France" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
