Résumé

The H.E.S.S experiment (for High Energy Stereoscopic System) consists of four imaging Cherenkov telescopes situated in the Namibia Khomas Highland desert (1800 m asl). Its main characteristics are the low energy threshold (100 GeV) and substantial flux sensitivity (1% Crab units). The combination of the four telescope data analysis provide good background rejection and angular resolution. Recent results on the performance and operation are reported here.
