Magnetic properties of the misfit sandwiched layered compound (CeS)1.15NbS2 are reported. Powder samples exhibit a Curie-Weiss behaviour above 100 K, with cerium at its trivalent state J = 5/2. Crystal field effects are observed with a GAMMA(7) as a possible ground state. Anisotropy is very important, as shown by magnetic measurements in oriented single crystals. A magnetic order is observed at T(N) = 1.95 K (powder) or 2.5 K (single crystals). Interlayer antiferromagnetic coupling occurs between \CeS\ slabs, while a weak ferromagnetic interaction seems to take place along the a-b plane (intralayer coupling).
