Why is it masculine?

Milieux is masculine because it derives from the Latin "medius" (middle). In French, the word evolved from the Old French "mi-lieu" (literally "mid-place"), where "lieu" (place) is masculine. French retained the masculine gender from its Latin origins, and the masculine noun "lieu" reinforced this classification.
