Hello Victor,

I am assuming that you'd like the text to flow around the box almost as 
a pull quote? If not, can you post a link to the example with images so 
that we can tell what effect you are trying to accomplish?

If so, you have an element in your HTML:

<br class="clearbox"/>

and the css: .clearbox { clear: both; }

This css rule will force the next paragraph to appear below the floated 
div (essentially negating the "float" quality).

Floats pull themselves out of the flow of the document, so if you want 
that une_boite-classed div to be near the top, put the div above the p 
element (directly after the <div id="titre_cont">...</div>)

Also, the une_boite-classed div is nested with the preceding p element 
which is not allowed in HTML 4.01 (Paragraphs can't contain other block 
level elements).  That doesn't seem to be disrupting the CSS, but it 
often can since inheritance gets affected and will vary even more 
greatly from browser to browser.

Hope that is helpful,
Erik
