Where crops may be grown after dams burst close to Paris? (10)

I believe the answer is:

farmsteads

'where crops may be grown' is the definition.
(crops are grown on a farm)

'after dams burst close to paris?' is the wordplay.
'burst' indicates an anagram.
'close to' indicates one should take the final letters (the 'close' to the word).
The final letter of 'paris' is 's'.
'after'+'dams'='afterdams'
'afterdams' with letters rearranged gives 'farmstead'.
'farmstead'+'s'='FARMSTEADS'
