In this article we prove that every conformal foliation, transversely analytic, of codimension at most three on a compact connected manifold is either transversely Möbius or Riemannian. This theorem can be seen as a generalisation of the Ferrand-Obata theorem transversely to a foliation.

Dans cet article nous montrons que tout feuilletage conforme, transversalement analytique, de codimension supérieure ou égale à trois sur une variété compacte connexe est transversalement Möbius ou riemannien. Ce théorème peut être vu comme une généralisation, transversalement à un feuilletage, du théorème Ferrand-Obata.
