Why is it cette agence?

Cette is the feminine singular form of the demonstrative adjective. It agrees with agence, which is a singular feminine noun.

The main forms are:

• ce = masculine singular
• cet = masculine singular before a vowel or mute h
• cette = feminine singular
• ces = plural

Also, cette can mean this or that depending on context. French usually does not insist on the same this/that distinction that English does.

Why is agence feminine?

Because agence is a grammatically feminine noun in French. Noun gender is something you usually have to learn along with the noun itself, for example une agence or cette agence.

There is not always a logical reason based on meaning. It is just part of how the noun works grammatically.
