Abstract: We generalize the Stirling numbers of the first kind $s(a,k)$ to the case where $a$ may be an arbitrary real number. In particular, we study the case in which $a$ is an integer. There, we discover new combinatorial properties held by the classical Stirling numbers, and analogous properties held by the Stirling numbers $s(n,k)$ with $n$ a negative integer. On g'{e}n'{e}ralise ici les nombres de Stirling du premier ordre $s(a,k)$ au cas o`u $a$ est un r'eel quelconque. On s'interesse en particulier au cas o`u $a$ est entier. Ceci permet de mettre en evidence de nouvelles propri'et'es combinatoires aux quelles obeissent les nombres de Stirling usuels et des propri'et'es analougues auquelles obeissent les nombres de Stirling $s(n,k)$ o`u $n$ est un entier n`egatif.
