The electrostatic contribution to the bending elastic modulus of charged phospholipid bilayers in an ionic solution is computed. It is found to be the same for conducting and non-conducting membranes and is always stabilizing. This stability for free membranes is shown to be a simple consequence of the vanishing of the physical surface tension.La contribution électrostatique au module d'élasticité est calculée pour une bicouche phospholipide chargée en milieu ionique. Cette contribution, identique pour une membrane conductrice comme isolante, est toujours stabilisante. On montre que cette stabilité des membranes libres est une conséquence de l'absence de tension superficielles
