"et leurs moules à la provençale ont l'air délicieuses"

Hi Luciana,
The expression 'avoir l'air' means to seem / to look and the adjective will agree with the noun it refers to, unless you use the general -
ça a l'air bon = that looks good
but
ces prunes ont l'air bonnes = these plums look good
elle a l'air fatiguée = she looks tired
etc.
