Résumé

We describe a family of rational affine surfaces S with huge groups of automorphisms in the following sense: the normal subgroup Aut(S)(alg) of Aut(S) generated by all algebraic subgroups of Aut(S) is not generated by any countable family of such subgroups, and the quotient Aut(S)/Aut(S)(alg) cointains a free group over an uncountable set of generators.
