Onion place - possibly descriptive of France at some time (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

napoleonic

'descriptive of france at some time' is the definition.

'onion place possibly' is the wordplay.
'possibly' is an anagram indicator.
'onion'+'place'='onionplace'
'onionplace' is an anagram of 'NAPOLEONIC'.

(Other definitions for napoleonic that I've seen before include "Relating to a particular French emperor" , "Relating to Bonaparte" , "The -- Code is a legal system in France" , "Old French" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
