Ce papier est consacré à l’existence des métriques conforme sur S 3 avec courbure scalaire prescrite. Nous étendons les critères d’existence bien connus de Bahri-Coron.

This paper is devoted to the existence of conformal metrics on S 3 with prescribed scalar curvature. We extend well known existence criteria due to Bahri-Coron.
