the L' can be either masculine or feminine. It is used as a replacement for the feminine "la" or the masculine "le", when the following noun starts with a vowel sound; in short, it is used for the sake of pronounciation, like when you switch "a" for "an" in English. (you wouldn't say "a idiot" or "an car") The trouble is that "la" and "le" can help you distinguish between a feminine or a masculine French noun in French. Don't worry, you can still guess, by changing the definite article (the) for the undefinite article (which would be "a" or "an" in English). Ex: L'avion > un avion > masculine. L'ile > une ile > feminine.
