Résumé - Abstract

We build, for real quadratic fields, infinitely many periodic continuous fractions uniformly bounded, with a seemingly better bound than the known ones. We do that using continuous fraction expansions with the same shape as those of real numbers $\sqrt{n} + n$. It allows us to obtain that there exist infinitely many quadratic fields containing infinitely many continuous fraction expansions formed only by integers $1$ and $2$. We also prove that a conjecture of Zaremba implies a conjecture of McMullen, building periodic continuous fractions from continous fraction expansions of rational numbers.
