The row of trees that line a long drive. Think Tuscany with cypress trees. I read maybe it's "paree" with an accent on one of those e's, but that doesn't sound too Italian. French invention?
what's this called?

the trees are along only one side of the drive, it would be a half allée.
If they aren't tall enough to shade your pathway... no. An allee for gnomes and fairies... maybe.
