Nice explanation Igor, thanks, I'm testing it too!
Pierre Alain,
Yes, it is slow compared to Xapi, because Xapi is querying an database 
while with this method you need to parse a file 3 times to get your result.
You could try to download france.osm.gz (or convert your pbf) and filter 
it with Osmfilter. I'm pretty sure it is faster.
