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?

An allée.

Painting of an allée of chestnut trees by Alfred Sisley:

Amazing allée of baobab trees:

If the trees are along only one side of the drive, it would be a half allée.
