Old French city still to be experienced? (2,3)

I believe the answer is:

on ice

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

'still to be experienced?' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot judge whether it can be defined by this definition.

'old french city' is the wordplay.
'old' becomes 'o' (abbreviation as in OT - Old Testament).
'french city' becomes 'nice' (Nice is a French city).
'o'+'nice'='ON ICE'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for on ice that I've seen before include "Awaiting decision" , "Chilling; suspended" , "Predatory insect" , "In store, preserved" , "kept for later" .)
