Pourquoi est-ce feminine ?
Vie is feminine because it derives from Latin "vita," which was grammatically feminine in the first declension (not second declension). The gender was preserved through Old French into Modern French. The modern feminine ending "-e" also reinforces this classification, though the gender itself originates from Latin rather than being determined by the modern suffix.
