Scientific paper

We present the kinematics of the nebula N 119 in the Large Magellanic Cloud. The detailed 3D spectroscopy has been carried out in the lines of Hα and [OIII] (λ5007 Å) using a scanning Fabry-Perot interferometer. Several massive stars, including a WR star, are found near the center of this nebula. We identify for the first time a Wolf-Rayet nebula formed by a WN3 star, and a wind-blown bubble formed by an O7III(f) star. Those bubbles, together with another expanding bubble (DEML 132a), contribute to give to N 119 its peculiar spiral shape. It is suggested that the strong winds of the very massive stars have excavated the original molecular cloud where the stars of the central OB association LH41 formed.
