Abstract

A front portion of a fuselage of an aircraft including a cockpit, a washroom, an access corridor to the cockpit alongside the washroom, and a rest compartment with at least one berth for at least one pilot. The corridor alongside the washroom includes a mechanism separating the corridor from the cockpit and a door for blocking access to the passenger cabin. The rest compartment can be accessed from the access corridor to the cockpit, between the separation mechanism between the corridor and the cockpit and the corridor door. The washroom includes two access doors, a first access door for accessing the washroom from the access corridor to the cockpit in the area located between the separation mechanism between the corridor and the cockpit and the corridor door, and a second access door for accessing the washroom from the passenger cabin.
