'saint-tropez is it pc there?' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'low-down romeo disturbing lady in' is the wordplay.
'low down' becomes 'gen' (I've seen this in other clues).
'romeo' becomes 'r' (phonetic alphabet: alpha, bravo, charlie etc.).
'disturbing lady' becomes 'dame' ('dame' can be a synonym of 'lady'. I am not sure about the 'disturbing' bit.**).
'in' indicates putting letters inside.
'r' inserted into 'dame' is 'darme'.
'gen'+'darme'='GENDARME'
