Allée
An allée is a carefully planned, straight avenue of trees or tall plants that lines a pathway, driveway, or garden feature. Typically, the trees are evenly spaced and symmetrically arranged, creating a formal, harmonious visual effect. Allées serve both aesthetic and functional purposes, providing shade, guiding movement, and emphasizing the importance of a space. They have historical roots in landscape design, often found in grand parks, estates, and formal gardens, enhancing the sense of order and elegance while integrating nature with human-made structures.
