Residences here in France located originally in cupolas (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

domiciles

'residences' is the definition.

'here in france located originally in cupolas' is the wordplay.
'here in france' becomes 'ici' (I've seen this in other clues).
'originally' indicates taking the first letters.
'in' is an insertion indicator.
'cupolas' becomes 'domes' (I've seen this before).
The first letter of 'located' is 'l'.
'ici'+'l'='icil'
'icil' placed within 'domes' is 'DOMICILES'.

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
