Perhaps Parisian dives in sea, swimming with mittens (10)
I believe the answer is:
estaminets
'perhaps parisian dives' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both man-made objects as well as being plural nouns.
Perhaps there's an association between them I don't understand?
'sea swimming with mittens' is the wordplay.
'swimming with' indicates an anagram (letters swim around into a new order).
'sea' anagrammed with 'mittens' makes 'ESTAMINETS'.
'in' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Times.
