Does the Flemish expression ‘allee’ come from the French ‘go’?

That’s right. The word allez – which is an interjection in Belgian-Dutch – we have taken from French. It was originally the imperative of the verb aller, but in addition new meanings developed such as interjection (eg ‘come on/’forward’, ‘well(now)’).
