Abstract
We report on first spectropolarimetric observations of solar prominences ma de at THEMIS. Hereafter we shall emphasis on the preliminary analysis of He I D-3 full-Stokes observations. Our measurements clearly show manifestatio ns of both the Hanle and Zeeman effects. More generally, we demonstrate the very favourable performances of the THEMIS multi-line spectropolarimetric mode for further new investigations of the magnetic field in solar prominen ces.
