What does ALLEE mean in Scrabble?
noun
A walkway or avenue bordered on both sides by trees or clipped hedges, especially in a formal garden.
An allee is a straight, tree-lined path designed to draw the eye toward a statue, fountain or building at its far end, a favourite feature of formal French and European garden design. Rows of trees or clipped shrubs are planted evenly along both sides, their branches sometimes trained to meet overhead and form a shaded green tunnel. Grand estates and public parks use an allee to create a sense of order and grandeur, guiding visitors along a deliberate, ceremonial route. The word comes directly from the French for alley or path, keeping its French spelling in English garden writing.
