Abstract

The EROS project (Expérience de Recherche d'Objets Sombres) has given, as a by-product, numerous and good quality light curves of Cepheid stars in both the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) and Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC). A catalogue of such objects will be presented, and focus will be made on the particular aspect of the metallicity effect on the Cepheid distance scale.
