Something/Somewhere connected to a summer holiday

[Ozzy7]

1/ A trouser for Paris (8)

2/ Confused, we drink a bottle first to keep off the draught (4,5)

[pbeach]

2. Wind Break

[Ozzy7]

Thanks, pbeach. I get the wind bit but break? Also, windbreak is one word rather than split.

[chelle7272]

pbeach is right - it's an anagram of we drink a and b (first of bottle)
Hope this helps

[pbeach]

Look closely at the clue - Confused = anagram
(we drink a (b))ottle first = wind break

A trouser for Paris = pantalon?

[Ozzy7]

Thanks for that. One down, one to go!

[Ozzy7]

Hi Kim. Did think of that but could not see a real link to a summer holiday. There is a 3 star hotel in Venice called that but that seems too tenuous.

[Kim A]

Got any letters for that first one, Ozzy?

[Ozzy7]

Sorry, no - it is a standalone question rather than a crossword. I can't get any one word 8 lettered anagrams out of "A trouser" or "for Paris" so I am guessing it is a place name.

[Kim A]

OK. How about going down the Paris as in 'Helen of Troy/Greek legend' Paris route and seeing if you can make a connection that way?

[Ozzy7]

I have been thinking of that all morning! Also for a Paris Hilton connection but as with the girl, there doesn't seem to be a lot there!

[Kim A]

Bu++er!

I am going to stick my neck out on this one:
Pantheon....

[satpam]

have in mind something like palazzo pants but not letters!!

[pbeach]

Anybody else think that Pant (a trouser) he on and the fact that the Pantheon is in Paris could be correct?

[Ozzy7]

The pantheon is in Rome!

[pbeach]

There is a Pantheon in Paris too... google it - I have been there.

[Ozzy7]

So there is. Looks impressive too but not as impressive as the original one in Rome. Thanks again pbeach, I think this is the best one to run with to date.
