An Hα Survey of the Milky Way is being led at La Silla with a small telescope equipped with a scanning Fabry-Perot interferometer and IPCS. This Survey gives detailed Hα maps with a 9” spatial resolution and radial velocity maps with a 5km/s resolution. About 200 fields (38’×38’) have been already observed along the galactic plane. They furnish mosaics ranging from galactic longitude 234° to 350°. Combined with distances of exciting stars and radio data our kinematic data of the ionized gas enable to draw precisely the spiral arms of our Galaxy. Examples of the results obtained are given for galactic longitudes 234°, 283°, 290°, 298°, 328° and 338°.
