baguette

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

'bread product there?' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'secure uniform in paris and note' is the wordplay.
'secure' becomes 'bag' (bag can mean to secure).
'uniform' becomes 'U' (phonetic alphabet: alpha, bravo, charlie etc.).
'in paris and' becomes 'et' ('and' in French).
'note' becomes 'te' (musical note).
'bag'+'u'+'et'+'te'='BAGUETTE'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for baguette that I've seen before include "Long narrow French loaf" , "Long French breadstick" , "Bread roll" , "Get beaut of a French loaf" , "Long loaf - tube gate (anag)" .)
