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

'hypersensitive' is the definition.
('allergic' can be a synonym of 'hypersensitive')

'travel in france us soldier getting cold' is the wordplay.
'travel in france' becomes 'aller' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'us soldier' becomes 'gi' (I've seen this in other clues).
'getting' says to put letters next to each other.
'cold' becomes 'c' (eg on taps).
'aller'+'gi'+'c'='ALLERGIC'

'is' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?
