Lorraine's regional associate (6)
I believe the answer is:
alsace
This clue could be a double definition.
'lorraine's' is the first definition.
The definition and answer can be both locations as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe there's a link between them I don't understand?
'regional associate' is the second definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't understand how one could define the other.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for alsace that I've seen before include "Filled pastry" , "source of French wines" , "Riesling-producing region eastern France" , "Region of France famous for white wine" , "Laces a province in France" .)
