Is the French word for Africa masculine or feminine?

The French word for Africa is "l'Afrique".

While the word "Afrique" is feminine, it's preceded by the definite article "l'" which is masculine. This is because the word "Afrique" starts with a vowel sound, and the masculine definite article "le" changes to "l'" before a vowel.

So, even though "Afrique" is feminine, you would use the masculine definite article "l'" when referring to it.
