Some people think Napoleon was responsible
The most widely held theory is that Napoleon ordered that French roads be lined with trees so that his troops would be able to march the length and breadth of the country in the shade.
Why in the world not ? They're pretty, they give freshnes and change to the cityscape, the help clean the air and they give shade. There are over 400,000 of them, so they must be doing a good job.
It's also because the Germans prefer to march in the shade.
