Chris W.C1 Kwiziq Q&A super contributor Correct answer

I am guessing you‘re drawing a parallel for the use of en here and with countries. This would be incorrect. Just because en is used with female country names doesn‘t mean it is used with female nouns at large.

Here is more on this: En vs Dans with locations (French Prepositions of Location)
