Undiscoverable, missing boulevards on the French Mediterranean (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

nice

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

'the french mediterranean' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are adjectives, I don't understand how they can define each other.

'undiscoverable missing boulevards' is the wordplay.
'missing' indicates named letters should be taken away.
'undiscoverable' with 'boulevards' taken out is 'NICE'.

'on' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for nice that I've seen before include "Portuguese river, a centre for port" , "French Mediterranean resort" , "Agreeable -- subtle" , "French resort; pleasing" , "Attractive Mediterranean resort" .)

I've seen this clue in the Irish Times and the Irish Times (Crosaire).
