COROT is a small space mission for asteroseismology and exoplanet search. We have started a ground-based effort to determine the fundamental parameters (Teff, log g, Fe/H, v sin i, etc...) of 1,100 potential targets of the COROT central and exploratory asteroseismology programmes. We are setting up a database of high-resolution (35,000--40,000) echelle spectra and Strömgren photometric data for all of these stars. We use echelle spectrographs at OHP (France), Sutherland (South Africa) and ESO (Chile), as well as a semi-automatic photometric telescope near Granada (Spain). We intend to gather all of these data, as well as the derived parameters and characteristics, in a single database accessible by the community.
