The general rule of thumb in French is the word is feminine if it ends with "-le" like "la table", the table is feminine with it the article "la" to denote feminine. But this is not always the case. For example, house in French is "la maison" which doesn't end in "-le".
As a french I never heard about this, and I can think of way more words contradicting it than confirming it. I wouldn't use it.
I am sorta learning French on Duolingo (and took 2 years in high school).
Articles like this one are really helpful, but also show the difficulty in learning the gender of nouns: How to easily guess the gender of French nouns with 80% accuracy
In Italian there is il tavolo, male, and la tavola, female. The latter can also be used to refer to a sheet of, usually, wood.
