les tentacules géantes ???

I have read that 'tentacule' is masculine.  Why is the adjective 'géant' feminine?

Bonjour Patricia,

You're absolutely correct! It is in fact a masculine word. I've always thought it was feminine (and so did Aurélie). Somehow, it is common to use "une" with the word "tentacule", eventhough it is completely wrong! Thanks to you, this has now been changed.

Merci de votre excellente contribution!

Bonne journée !
