Le collisionneur LEP et ses performances sont présentés en termes simples. Quelques éléments de la physique machine d'un collisionneur circulaire à électrons sont rappelés. Les deux batailles, pour la luminosité et pour l'énergie maximale, que le LEP a menées et gagnées sont décrites en détail.
The LEP collider and the performances which have been achieved are presented in simple terms. Some basic facts of electron circular machine physics are recalled. The ambitious and very successful programmes undertaken to maximize LEP luminosity and energy are described in detail.
