Why is it masculine?
Palais is masculine because it derives from Latin "palatium" (neuter noun referring to the Palatine Hill in Rome, then later palaces built there), and when Latin neuter nouns ending in "-ium" entered Old French, they typically became masculine nouns ending in "-ais." This shift from neuter to masculine was a regular pattern during the evolution from Latin to Romance languages.
