1. An arrangement of seats for an aircraft cabin, the arrangement of seats, comprising:
at least a first column of seats extending on one side of an aisle and comprising a first set of seats and consoles arranged one behind the other in a straight line, each console having a front end and a rear end, the rear end of each console being provided with a foot zone for receiving the feet of a passenger in a corresponding rear seat in the first column;
at least a second column of seats located adjacent to the first column of seats and the side of a fuselage, the second column of seats extending parallel to the first column of seats, the second column of seats comprising a second set of seats and consoles arranged one behind the other in a straight line, each console having a front end and a rear end, the rear end of each console being provided with a foot zone for receiving the feet of a passenger in a corresponding rear seat in the second column, the seats in the second column being in a staggered arrangement with respect to the seats in the first column so that each seat of the first column is arranged adjacent to a console of the second column and each seat of the second column is adjacent to a console of the first column;
at least one first door movable between a stored position and an extended position in which the at least one first door closes an upper space above a console in the first column of seats, said upper space being delimited on the one hand by a shell associated with the console and on the other hand by a shell associated with a front seat in the first column of seats;
a lower space extending between the front end of each console in the first column of seats and the shell of the corresponding front seat being left free along the entire height of the corresponding console, the lower space having no door so that the lower space is left free when the first door is in the extended position;
wherein the lower space in communication with the upper space forms an access passage between the aisle and a seat in the second column when the at least one first door is in the stored position; and
at least one second door movable between a stored position and a deployed position in which the at least one second door closes a free space extending between a shell of the rear seat and the rear end of the console in the first column of seats, the free space forming an access passage between the aisle and the rear seat in the first column, when the at least one second door is in the stored position, wherein the at least one first door is smaller than the at least one second door,
wherein the at least one first door or the at least one second door comprises a first carriage mounted so as to be mobile in translation along a guiding slide in order to allow the at least one first door or the at least one second door to move from one position to another,
wherein the at least one first door or the at least one second door comprises a second carriage provided with a damping pinion for damping a movement of the at least one first door or the at least one second door and cooperating with a rack,
wherein the second carriage comprises a locking and unlocking system capable of assuming a locked state in which said system maintains the second carriage in a high position so that teeth of the damping pinion cooperate with the rack, and an unlocked state allowing said second carriage to move to a low position so that teeth of the damping pinion are released from the rack,
wherein the locking and unlocking system includes a cam and a notch, a displacement of the cam relative to the notch allowing the second carriage to pass from one position to another.
