past participe agreement
This question relates to:French lesson "Entrer can be used with avoir or être in compound tenses depending on its meaning in French (Le Passé Composé)"

Simon,
the past participle and adjectival agreements with the subject pronoun ‘ vous ‘ accord with the gender and number of “ the subject “, when agreement is indicated per the usual rules of agreement.
In the sentence you cite, the subject being spoken to is a ( one ) man, addressed politely with ‘ vous ‘.

Bonjour Simon,
Maarten is correct! Take a look here too:
Saying "tu" or "vous"? That is the question...
Using Tu and Vous to express three types of you in French (French Subject Pronouns)
I hope this is helpful.
Bonne journée !
