Is there a way to find out a nouns gender?

Although it may seem that the gender of French nouns is random and you have to memorise each, there is a simple way of using the word's ending to gauge it's gender.
Masculine Endings:
-age
-ment
-il, -ail, -eil, -ueil
-é (but not -té)
-eau and -ou
-ème, -ège
-i, -at, -et and -ot
-er
-oir
-isme
-ing
-ard
Words ending in other consonants (in the spelling).
Unfortunately there are exemptions to this rule - the one to remember is words that describe male people.
Feminine Endings
-tion, -sion and -son
-ure
-ude, -ade
-ée
-té
-ière
Consonant followed by -ie
-euse
-ance, -ence
-ine, -ise, -alle, -elle, -esse, -ette etc
