Nous calculons l’équation d’évolution du tenseur de Weyl d’une variété riemannienne par le flot de Ricci et nous discutons des conséquences pour la classification des solitons de Ricci localement conformément plats.

We compute the evolution equation of the Weyl tensor under the Ricci flow of a Riemannian manifold and we discuss some consequences for the classification of locally conformally flat Ricci solitons.
