The method of stellar velocity variations measurement has recently shown its capability by discovering tens of extra-solar planets. Accuracies achieved today are in the range of 3 to 10 m/s. The spectrograph EMILIE coupled to the Absolute Astronomical Accelerometer (AAA) system and established at the 1.52 m telescope of the Observatoire de Haute Provence is an instrument which aims at reaching an accuracy better than 1 m/s, long term. Results on some typical stars are presented.
