What does PERRON mean in Scrabble?
noun
technical
An exterior staircase and platform leading up to the main entrance of a large building.
A perron raises the main door of a grand house, church or public building above street level, giving arriving visitors a formal approach and the building itself a more imposing frontage. French architectural writing supplied the term, and English borrowed it wholesale for country houses and civic buildings built in a similarly grand style. Unlike a simple porch, a perron usually spans the full width of the entrance and often carries a balustrade or ornamental steps on either side. The word appears frequently in older novels describing grand estates, where characters are met or dismissed at the foot of the perron.
How PERRON is used
