If Sylvie Germain's works are well known to literary critics, the theme of wandering, which holds an important place in her writings, remains relatively unexplored. This thesis studies the theme of wandering by presenting it firstly within the body of the writer's oeuvre, and then, by examining more thoroughly its relation to the female character in the novel, Magnus. This analysis proposes three models of wandering women: the alienated woman, the adventurer and the criminal. / Si l'oeuvre de Sylvie Germain est bien connue des critiques littéraires, la thématique de l'errance, qui occupe une place principale dans son écriture, demeure relativement inexplorée. Le présent mémoire étudie l'errance en présentant le thème dans l'oeuvre de l'écrivaine et, ensuite, en examinant, plus particulièrement, son rapport avec le personnage féminin dans le roman Magnus. Cette analyse propose trois modèles de femmes errantes : la femme aliénée, l'aventurière et la criminelle.
