Why is it feminine?

Remise is feminine because it derives from the Latin feminine noun "remissa" (a thing put back or deposited), the past participle of "remittere" used as a noun, which maintained its feminine gender through Old French into Modern French. The feminine ending "-e" in French typically signals feminine nouns, reinforcing this Latin inheritance.
