Abstract: We prove a monotonicity formula for minimal or almost minimal sets for the Hausdorff measure $cal{H}^d$, subject to a sliding boundary constraint where competitors for $E$ are obtained by deforming $E$ by a one-parameter family of functions $varph{i}_t$ such that $varph{i}_t(x)inL$ when $xinE$ lies on the boundary $L$. In the simple case when $L$ is an affine subspace of dimension $d-1$, the monotone or almost monotone functional is given by $F(r)=r^{-d}cal{H}^d(EcapB(x,r))+r^{-d}cal{H}^d(ScapB(x,r))$, where $x$ is any point of $E$ (not necessarily on $L$) and $S$ is the shade of $L$ with a light at $x$. We then use this, the description of the case when $F$ is constant, and a limiting argument, to give a rough description of $E$ near $L$ in two simple cases. ----- On donne une formule de monotonie pour des ensembles minimaux ou presque minimaux pour la mesure de Hausdorff $cal{H}^d$, avec une condition de bord o`u les comp'etiteurs de $E$ sont obtenus en d'eformant $E$ par une famille `a un param`etre de fonctions $varph{i}_t$ telles que $varph{i}_t(x)inL$ quand $xinE$ se trouve sur la fronti`ere $L$. Dans le cas simple o`u $L$ est un sous-espace affine de dimension $d-1$, la fonctionelle monotone ou presque monotone est donn'ee par $F(r)=r^{-d}cal{H}^d(EcapB(x,r))+r^{-d}cal{H}^d(ScapB(x,r))$, o`u $x$ est un point de $E$, pas forc'ement dans $L$, et $S$ est l'ombre de $L$, 'eclair'ee depuis $x$. On utilise ceci, la description des cas o`u $F$ est constante, et un argument de limite, pour donner une description de $E$ pr`es de $L$ dans deux cas simples.
