On prouve un théorème de structure pour les boules de Carnot-Carathéodory définies par des champs de vecteurs lipschitziens. Une inégalité de Poincaré est aussi démontrée.

We provide a structure theorem for Carnot-Carathéodory balls defined by a family of Lipschitz continuous vector fields. From this result a proof of Poincaré inequality follows.
