ANTARES is currently the largest neutrino telescope operating in the Northern hemisphere. The telescope is designed to search for high-energy neutrinos originating from galactic and extra-galactic sources. The detection principle relies on the observation of Čerenkov light, whose emission is stimulated by the propagation in water of the charged leptons resulting from charged current neutrino interactions in the medium surrounding the detector. The detector is a 3-dimensional array of photomultiplier tubes (PMTs), arranged on twelve vertical lines (each housing 75 PMTs), placed at a depth of about 2500 meters, 40 km off the coast of Toulon, France. The detector was completed in May 2008 and it has been working continuously in its 12-lines configuration for almost one year. The performance and first results will be discussed.
