Lexicon Porte-cochère _____________________________________________________ A porte-cochère is a doorway to a building or courtyard, "often very grand," through which vehicles can enter from the street[3] or a covered porch-like structure at a main or secondary entrance to a building through which originally a horse and carriage and today a motor vehicle can pass to provide arriving and departing occupants protection from the elements.
