Debris discs around stars were first discovered by IRAS, the Infrared Astronomical Satellite in 1983. For the first time material orbiting another star than the Sun, but distinct from a circumstellar envelope, was observed through its far infrared emission. This major discovery motivated astronomers to investigate those discs by further analysing the IRAS data, using ground-based telescopes for the hunting of exoplanets, developing several projects using ISO, the Infrared Space Observatory, and now exploiting IDA, the ISO Data Archive. This review presents the main ISO results, statistical as well as individual, on debris discs in orbit around pre-main-sequence and main-sequence stars.
