Could an avenue exist without tree lines?

In Germany it's called "Allee", in Dansk, Norsk Svenska it's "Allé". I 
don't know the difference between the French usage of "Avenue" and 
"Allée", the second one proably within parks only.

BTW: An Allee may have trees either on both sides or one side only - and 
there may be occasions where the trees follow the former track of the 
road while there's a straight route by the newer road, which would 
require the separate line-of-trees.
