We obtained WFPC2 high spatial resolution images, in filters F555W and F814W, of a few fields in the bulge of M31. Two are located SW along the major axis of M31, respectively at 6.1 and 3.2 arcmin of the galaxy nucleus; another is located NE along the major axis at 3.7 arcmin. Adopting 1 arcmin = 250 pc from Rich & Mighell (1995), these separations correspond to projected distances of about 1.55, 0.80, and 0.92 kpc, respectively. We present here some of our results after analysis of the I; V – I colour magnitude diagrams of the bulge stellar population, which are part of an extensive work to be published elsewhere (Jablonka et al. 1997).
