Summary: To any weighted graph with first Betti number \(b\) is naturally associated a lattice of dimension \(b\): the lattice of integral flows. We give here an upper bound of the Hermite invariant of such a lattice in terms of \(b\), of order \(\ln b\). This order is optimal: it is realized by the Hermite invariant of the lattice of integral flows associated to a systolically economic graph.
