Experimental evidence for a Blue Phase of hexagonal symmetry is reported. In agreement with a theoretical prediction by Hornreich et al., this new Blue Phase has been found in a short pitch cholesteric liquid crystal of positive dielectric anisotropy submitted to a large enough electric field. Its symmetry, compatible with crystal forms and with Bragg reflections, is either P6122 or P6 222. The phase is three-dimensional in contradistinction with the theoretically considered two-dimensional models.On décrit la mise en évidence expérimentale d'une Phase Bleue de symétrie hexagonale. En accord avec les prédictions théoriques de Homreich et al ., cette nouvelle Phase Bleue apparait dans les cristaux liquides cholestériques de petit pas, d'anis...
