November or May touring North Dakota's French region (8)
I believe the answer is:
normandy
'french region' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'november or may touring north dakota's' is the wordplay.
'november' becomes 'N' (phonetic alphabet: alpha, bravo, charlie etc.).
'touring' is an insertion indicator (touring can mean going round).
'north dakota' becomes 'nd' (this might be a standard abbreviation of which I'm unaware).
'may' enclosing 'nd' is 'mandy'.
'n'+'or'+'mandy'='NORMANDY'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for normandy that I've seen before include "Region of northern France" , "French area" , "Region of northwest France" , "over the water" , "North France region" .)
