    My focus on this puzzle was to write clues with no words extraneous to the straight or cryptic definitions, which is a mistake I've made on prior fills. I'm especially proud of 7D for this.
    As always, feedback is appreciated!

      Really nice puzzle! You have so many clever surfaces. The one thing I will say though is that 1A probably shouldn't have "the".

        Thank you!! In my heart, I knew that... I just really liked the idea of sticking it in there to throw people off lol, but alas, France has more than one city
