\`A propos des vari\'et\'es de Poncelet

Abstract

We recall the definition of Poncelet varieties that generalize the celebrated Poncelet curves introduced by Darboux. We show that any quadric and any smooth cubic in the projective space of dimension three is a Poncelet surface but that a general surface of degree greater than four is not.
