Martine and I went for a walk around town

In the translation options for “Martine and I went for a walk around town”, why are the “baladés/allés” not “baladées/allées” as the two people referenced are both female?

The introduction hint states Henri is talking to Gilles - both French male names - about the weekend. Martine and I, female and male, so masculine gender grammatical agreement.
