Abstract
We present CIGALE (Burgarella et al. 2005; Noll et al. 2009), a software developed at the Laboratoire d'Astrophysique de Marseille to fit galaxy spectral energy distributions from the rest-frame far-UV to far-IR wavelength range, and to derive some of their physical parameters. We also give some examples of scientific results obtained with CIGALE.
