Lectures on spherical and wonderful varieties
Actions hamiltoniennes : invariants et classification. 6 – 10 avril 2009, Les cours du CIRM, no. 1 (2010), pp. 33-53.

These notes contain an introduction to the theory of spherical and wonderful varieties. We describe the Luna-Vust theory of embeddings of spherical homogeneous spaces, and explain how wonderful varieties fit in the theory.
