A porte-cochere is a covered entrance for driving through or parking under with access to the front door of a home.  I recently had a listing that had one and everyone thought it was classic.  Here is a photo that shows part of the driveway and gives a visual.   

Covered side entry for the horse & buggy or a car.

a covered coach port in front of the a mansion.  Over the years it became a car port as horses are not used.

All aboard!
