My name is upside down on place setting (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

milieu

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

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

'my name is upside down on' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'name' could be 'mil' and 'mil' is located in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

'place' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for milieu that I've seen before include "Environmental condition, surrounding" , "Surroundings - location" , "(Social) setting" , "Social environment or set of surroundings" , "'Surroundings, setting (6)'" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
