Why is it feminine?
Salle is feminine because it derives from Latin "sala" (a large hall or room), which was a feminine noun in Latin, and French retained the grammatical gender of its Latin ancestor. The word likely entered Latin from Germanic languages, but the feminine gender was established early enough that all Romance languages inherited it as feminine (French *salle*, Spanish *sala*, Italian *sala*).
