Since its launch in December 2006, the CoRoT satellite has provided photometric data precise down to the micro-magnitude level for about 150 bright stars and 150 000 fainter ones. These stars have been observed over runs covering up to 160 days with a 90% duty cycle. Seismic data of such precision had been longed for by the scientific community for decades, and expected as a way of making progress in our understanding of stellar structure and evolution. The analysis and interpretation of CoRoT seismic data have indeed made it possible to place observational constraints on several key aspects of stellar structure and evolution, such as the size of mixed convective cores, magnetic activity, mass loss. . . We here present some highlights of the CoRoT results and their implications in terms of internal stellar structure.
