Nous démontrons que la “conjecture de hauteur bornée” est optimale dans le sens suivant. Soit V une variété irréductible dans une puissance d’une courbe elliptique. Si les sous-variétés anormales de V recouvrent tout V, alors chaque ouvert de V a une hauteur non bornée. Nous donnons aussi quelques exemples

In this article we show that the Bounded Height Conjecture is optimal in the sense that, if V is an irreducible subvariety with empty deprived set in a power of an elliptic curve, then every open subset of V does not have bounded height. The Bounded Height Conjecture is known to hold. We also present some examples and remarks.
