La m\'ethode de Shintani et ses variantes

We give several versions of Shintani's method for the decomposition into simplicial cones of the fundamental domain of a torus modulo a lattice, and we investigate some applications to the study of Hecke $L$-functions at integer points. In particular, we prove the analytic class number formula for a totally real field, directly at $s=0$.
