Why is it feminine?

Idées is feminine because it derives from Latin "idea," which was feminine in gender, ultimately from Greek "idéa" (ἰδέα), the feminine form of the adjective meaning "visible" or "apparent." French retained the feminine gender from its Latin source, as it does with most Latin feminine nouns ending in "-a."
