Paris is a city of enormous doorways. Often, these were built for horse-drawn carriages to enter a courtyard on the other side of the doors!

Today -- these doors are usually accompanied by a keypad entry system.... it's all about knowing the codes!

Doorway and courtyard at the Sorbonne....

A fantastic find this year! "Asia Room" Chinese restaurant.
