Got it! I corrected my syntax and this code now works as far as I can tell:

<?php
$file= 'annnonces.xml';
// load file
$xml = simplexml_load_file($file) or die ("Unable to load XML file!");
foreach ($xml->xpath('//lot') as $lot) {
    echo $lot->numero_lot, 'type ', $lot->type, $lot->identification, '<br
/>';
    echo 'Prix maxi: ', $lot->tarif_max, ' Prix mini: ', $lot->tarif_min,
'<br />';
	foreach( $lot->elements->element as $key => $data ){
			$result=((string) $data->attributes());
			if ($result == "1") {
          		echo "Nombre pièces: ", $data, '<br />';
			}
			if ($result == "3") {
          		echo "Surface: ", $data, "m2", '<br />';
			}
			if ($result == "7") {
          		echo "Nombre étoiles: ", $data, '<br />';
				break;
			}
	}
}
?>

Output is:
201type APPARTEMENT STUDIOTEE2 106
Prix maxi: 475 Prix mini: 475
Nombre pièces: 1
Surface: 27m2
Nombre étoiles: 3

Hooray and thanks to all of you guys.
