allee
Formal tree corridor
An allee is a walkway or path lined with trees or tall shrubs on both sides, typically in a formal garden or park setting.
The trees are usually planted at regular intervals, creating a shaded corridor with a strong sense of perspective: The allee of elms led to the manor house.
The term comes from French landscape design and appears mostly in architectural and horticultural contexts.
