Abstract

In this review I will present recent results between 2007 and 2011 based on interferometric observations of binaries and multiple systems with the VLTI, NPOI, SUSI and CHARA instruments. I will also explain the kind of constraints an interferometer can provide in order to better understand the physics of multiple systems.
