Cosmological Topology in Paris 1998

Quel est, ou pourrait \^etre, la topologie globale de la partie spatiale de l'Univers ? L'Univers entier (pr\'ecis\'ement, l'hypersurface spatiale de celui-ci) est-il observable ? Les math\'ematiciens, les physiciens et les cosmologistes observationnels ont des approches diff\'erentes pour aborder ces questions qui restent ouvertes. What is, or could be, the global topology of spatial sections of the Universe? Is the entire Universe (spatial hypersurface thereof) observable ? Mathematicians, physicists and observational cosmologists have different strategies to approaching these questions which are not yet fully answered.
