Avenue of trees [photographs only]

In France, most all roads (barring highways) were lined with trees (usually platanus), until someone noticed that the repetitive illumination fluctuation they caused could lead to photo-sensitive epileptic attacks, too often resulting in a crash against one of the trees.
Result: most trees were cut down...

Is it true that these roads were originally planted with trees by order of Napoleon so that when his troops were on the march they had a plentiful supply of firewood?
In Australia they are usually referred to as an "Avenue of Honour."
Planted after the 1914-18 war. Yes, most countries were in it before 1917. Each tree was planted to remember one fallen soldier, son, brother, husband. Australia suffered the highest casualty rate of that war. Not one country town was unaffected.
I once left a job as I was designing power lines. They expected me to plan a line through one of these avenues.

Inspired by Daniel and Morizzi, I went for a run today, ANZAC Day, the day of commemoration for Australians and New Zealanders. Here are a couple of Avenues of Honour in Victoria:
Woodend, about 2km long;
and nearby Mt Macedon;
