Non-Parisians are often very confused about how to enter a building. The security in this city is quite intense, to the point where there is not a single door in all the city that doesn't require a code to enter. Even worse, in most cases, after entering the door you are faced with trying to figure out which door to go to next. Even still, there will be a series of other doors, or even exterior roads to take in order to get to the place you want. Getting to the church is no exception. In order to get to the courtyard where the church is located you have to push the button next to this big scary blue door. The fact that it is open here is some sort of miracle, because it is always shut tight. I think someone was coming out when I took the picture. The internet site explaining to tourists how to get to church makes no mention of pushing the button and just coming in. Every week there is usually two or three families of Americans waiting outside the door absolutely clueless. I gave myself the calling of opening the big blue door every week two minutes before church starts to invite in the lost souls. By the way, that face above the door often moans, "Jacob Marley" as you enter.
