Hello everyone.
I'm reading the book, La Belle et La Bête, and I saw une année passe. Why does it use année instead of an?
Thank you

Passing a year?!
This question relates to:French lesson "An vs année, matin vs matinée, jour vs journée, soir vs soirée to express a time unit or a duration in French"
Asked 2 years ago
Hi Master,
"When we consider that part of the day or this day or year in its duration, when we emphasise the length of time, we use the feminine forms: une année (a year), la journée (the day), la matinée (the morning), la soirée (the evening)."
The above copied and pasted from the lesson you quoted -- I cannot improve on that.
Bonne journée
Jim
