The Cremona group is the group of birational transformations (isomorphisms between open dense subsets) of the projective space.  Even if this group comes from algebraic geometry, tools from geometric group theory have been powerful to study this group. 

After introducing this group and CAT(0) cube complexes, we will build a natural action of the Cremona group on these complexes. We will then discuss about the results that can be obtained from this action.
