French city

Lyon or Nice

A French city is a city in France.

The phrase functions as a compound modifier when preceding a noun: The French city of Lyon is known for its cuisine.

It distinguishes among cities when context requires specifying the country, as with Paris, Texas versus the French city of Paris.
