General Topology, chapter III, § 2. Subgroups, quotient groups, homomorphisms homogeneous spaces, product groups

A subgroup of a topological group is open if and only if it has an interior point. Every open subgroup is closed.

If a subgroup HH has an interior point, then by translation all the points of HH are interior and so HH is open. The second assertion of the corollary is a particular case of Proposition 4.

Bourbaki puts the proof directly after the statement, so what is above is the statement and its proof together.
