The study of the distribution of rational points on algebraic varieties is a classic subject of Diophantine geometry. The program proposed by V. Batyrev and Y. Manin in the 1990s gives a prediction on the order of growth whereas its later version due to E. Peyre conjectures the existence of a global distribution. In this thesis we propose a study of the local distribution of rational points of bounded height on algebraic manifolds. This aims at giving a description finer than the global one by counting the points closest to a fixed point. We set ourselves on the recent framework of the work of D. McKinnon and M. Roth who prefers that the geometry of the variety governs the Diophantine approximation on it and we take up the results of S. Pag...
