We present an application of the \textit{T. Kohonen} algorithm [ibid. 43, 59-69 (1982; Zbl 0466.92002)] to the traveling salesman problem: using only this algorithm, without energy function nor any parameter choosen ``ad hoc'', we found good suboptimal tours. We give a neural model version of this algorithm, closer to classical neural networks. This is illustrated with various numerical examples.
