An aircraft section, between a cockpit and a cabin, comprises an aisle to access to the cockpit from the cabin, and a monument extending in a longitudinal direction and a transverse direction. The monument includes a first lavatory, a second lavatory adjacent thereto in the transverse direction and comprising the aisle, a wall separating the first lavatory from the second lavatory, a boundary wall delimiting the first lavatory and a portion of a rear wall of the cockpit, and a second boundary wall delimiting the second lavatory and a second portion of the rear wall of the cockpit. The boundary walls are parallel or continuous. The monument further includes an outer door movable between an open position, where the cockpit aisle is accessible from the cabin area, and a closed position, where the cockpit aisle is blocked with respect to the cabin area.
