She stores art in French department (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sarthe

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

'french department' is the definition.
'sarthe' can be an answer for 'department' (I've seen this before). I am not certain of the 'french' bit.

'she stores art' is the wordplay.
'stores' indicates putting letters inside.
'she' enclosing 'art' is 'SARTHE'.

'in' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for sarthe that I've seen is " department".)
