À l'aide de la méthode WKB nous construisons des solutions approchées à l'équation de Schrödinger cubique sur une variété qui possède une géodésique stable. Cette construction permet d'obtenir des résultats d'instabilités dans des espaces de Sobolev.

In this paper we are interested in constructing WKB approximations for the nonlinear cubic Schrödinger equation on a Riemannian surface which has a stable geodesic. These approximate solutions will lead to some instability properties of the equation.
