Pulsar wind nebulae (PWNe) are extended structures of shocked relativistic particles powered by a pulsar at very high energy. Interaction between these particles and the surrounding medium produces very high energy photon emission. Observation by imaging Cherenkov telescopes system in an energy scale from about 100 GeV to 100 TeV, shows various morphologies, depending on many parameters : age, ambiant medium distribution, magnetic fields. The H.E.S.S. experiment allowed to find out many sources, like Vela X or HESS J1825-137, usefull for morphology analysis. Last results obtained with H.E.S.S. and implications on the evolution model of PWNe will be presented here.
