The capital of France (5)

I believe the answer is:

paris

'the capital of france' is the definition.
('Paris' can be a synonym of 'capital of france')

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for paris that I've seen before include "City where one may see the Mona Lisa" , "Continental capital" , "captivated Helen" , "I spar (anag)" , "Legendary prince" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
