All is said in the title, I'd like to know how to map the access paths that go from the main road to the house...

Thanks in advance for your help!

One Answer:

highway=service, service=driveway, (and typically) access=private

Of course you can also add the tags surface, width, lit as well.

In general, those driveways are only added in case the house is far from the main road. "far" is different for each mapper.
