Nous donnons une classification topologique, et géométrique, complète des variétés Lorentziennes compactes de dimension 3 dont le groupe d’isométries n’est pas compact.

In this paper, we give a complete topological, as well as geometrical classification of closed 3-dimensional Lorentz manifolds admitting a noncompact isometry group.
