Rent in Le Touquet, or Nice? (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

torn

'rent' is the definition.
('torn' can be a synonym of 'rent')

'in le touquet or nice?' is the wordplay.
'in' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue.
'TORN' can be found hidden inside 'le touquet or nice'.

(Other definitions for torn that I've seen before include "?Curtain (Hitchcock thriller)" , "Having rips" , "In a state of uncertainty between two conflicting options" , "Divided" , "Dance wear" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
