From what i gather "Un vieux parchemin" would be correct. Why is "Un extrêmement vieux parchemin" incorrect? Thank you.

un extrêmement vieux parchemin
This question relates to:French lesson "Adjectives usually go AFTER nouns in French (Position of Adjectives)"
Asked 5 years ago
Hi Audrey,
This is a special case where adjectives modified by multi-sylable adverbs always follow the noun even if, normally, the adjective goes before the the noun: In your case:
Un très vieux parchemin BUT Un parchemin extrêmement vieux.
Hope this helps,
Tom
