47 rue Descartes is a very special building. The hall behind he door leads to 3 staircases.The first one leads to a building with no view on the wall. The two others have metal gratings and can only be openend with a digicode. They both take you to a narrow corridor on the 1st floor, in the open air, which is situated on top of the wall and are the fisrt part of a path leading to the rue Clovis. This passageway leads in its turn to other staircases leading to the houses over the wall.
