Year in France in region there finding source (10)

I believe the answer is:

provenance

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

'source' is the definition.
(eg the provenance of an antique)

I cannot understand how the rest of the clue works.

(Other definitions for provenance that I've seen before include "Documented history" , "Origin of" , "Source of painting" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
