Innkeeper in the Loire perhaps (8)
I believe the answer is:
hotelier
'innkeeper' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'the loire perhaps' is the wordplay.
'perhaps' indicates an anagram.
'the'+'loire'='theloire'
'theloire' with letters rearranged gives 'HOTELIER'.
'in' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for hotelier that I've seen before include "Inn-keeper" , "One offering tourist accommodation" , "Person such as Basil Fawlty?" , "I can offer you accommodation" , "He offers rooms" .)
