The Maple Allée

The road would then turn toward the east, and the mansion would disappear from view once more. As the route doubled back and continued through another grove of trees, the mansion remained out of view, hidden by two long rows of Norwegian maple trees leading to a single statue in the Maple Allée on the left.
