la zone appelée alcôve

Explanation:
"A lavatory is separated from the electronic cabinet by a small area, which is
referred to as the alcove. The operator cab floor, approximately two feet above the
lavatory and LSI rack, is connected to the alcove area by three steps. Immediately to the right and left of the steps are located the conductor's and engineer's consoles. "
