"The city center of Bordeaux is very old."

Translation: Le centre-ville de Bordeaux est très vieux.

[gloriastew2]

Ancien=vieux lost a heart

[Lisa.Simone]

Please explain:. If ville is feminine, how is centre-ville masculine? Or does "Bordeaux" override centre-ville ? I'm perplexed.

[DanielGreg60217]

Ancien?

[HaleEbiri]

Why not vieille?

[Chrys137701]

Was my question too, but Bordeaux ends in eaux so must old = vieux?

[RauLeCreuset]

Why is it that âgé/âgée does not work in a lot of situations whilst vieux/vieille does?
