guidées

Guidées is the feminine plural form of the past participle of the verb guider. It functions as an adjective or as a past participle in passive constructions, and it agrees in gender and number with the noun it describes or with the subject when used in the passive voice. For example, in the phrase des visites guidées, guidées describes visites (feminine plural) and indicates that the visits are guided. In a sentence like Les étudiantes ont été guidées par leur professeur, guidées agrees with the feminine plural sujet étudiantes.

Common uses include tourism and services, where guided experiences are described as des visites guidées or des circuits guidés, and in procedural or instructional contexts, where steps or procedures are described as guidées, meaning carried out under guidance. The form can also appear in the feminine singular as guidée, as in Elle a été guidée tout au long du parcours.

Guidées does not exist as a standalone noun in standard French; it stays a grammatical form tied to the verb guider. The masculine counterpart is guidé, and the plural masculine form is guidés. In agreement, it follows the same rules as other past participles used as adjectives or in passive voice: it matches the gender and number of the noun or of the subject of the passive construction.
