We give a simple proof of T. Stehling's result [4], whereby in any normal tiling of the plane with convex polygons with number of sides not less than six, all tiles except a finite number are hexagons.

Nous donnons une démonstration simple d'un résultat de T. Stehling [4], assurant que dans tout pavage normal du plan par des polygones convexes d'au moins six côtés, les pavés qui ne sont pas des hexagones sont en nombre fini.
