la porte s'ouvre

Why s' ouvre? The verb "ouvre" is not a reflexive verb.

Thank you in advance for taking time to answer.

Tarte aux pommesIs this considered another « fixed » expression used to describe food. Just curious because as « pommes » is feminine and plural one would normally say « tarte à les pommes » . Are there other similar exceptions?

"Tout le pays" ou "tous les pays"?

Bonjour!

I have recently seen this sentence in Entre Nous A1 book:

"Je suis guide touristique depuis deux ans...je travaille dans tout le pays !"

The speaker is clearly speaking about "all the countries" here, which is plural. So why not "tous les pays"?
