What is a "porte-cochère"?
A porte-cochère is a large, covered entrance or gateway to a building, often designed to allow vehicles to pass through and drop off passengers under shelter. It typically features a roof supported by columns or posts and provides protection from the weather as people enter or exit the building. Porte-cochères are commonly found in grand homes, hotels, or older buildings, offering both a functional and elegant design element.
