Résumé

A simplicial arrangement of pseudolines is a collection of topological lines in the projective plane where each region that is formed is triangular. This paper refines and develops David Eppstein's notion of a kaleidoscope construction for symmetric pseudoline arrangements to construct and analyze several infinite families of simplicial pseudoline arrangements with high degrees of geometric symmetry. In particular, all simplicial pseudoline arrangements with the symmetries of a regular $k$-gon and three symmetry classes of pseudolines, consisting of the mirrors of the $k$-gon and two other symmetry classes, plus sometimes the line at infinity, are classified, and other interesting families (with more symmetry classes of pseudolines) are discussed.
