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

'french city but wasn't always' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'revolutionary brags tours' is the wordplay.
'revolutionary' is an anagram indicator.
'brags'+'tours'='bragstours'
'bragstours' is an anagram of 'STRASBOURG'.

'is' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for strasbourg that I've seen is " City on the Rhine".)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
