That's in Seine!

As a detective, my first thought upon encountering the crossword clue ‘That’s in Seine!‘ was to look for any reference to the French river Seine. I quickly realized that ‘Seine‘ could be a homophone for ‘sane‘, which further muddled my thinking. However, my knowledge of the French language and geography proved to be the key to unlocking the mystery. ‘EAU‘, which means ‘water‘ in French, is pronounced similarly to ‘oh‘ in English, which closely resembles the way ‘Seine‘ is pronounced. Additionally, the Seine river is a well-known waterway in France. As a result, the answer ‘EAU‘, meaning water, and alluding to the Seine river, became evident. With this deduction, I confidently filled in the three-letter word ‘EAU‘ in the crossword puzzle, solving the mystery of ‘That’s in Seine!
