We present results obtained from a study of the mass distribution of 24 galaxies observed using Fabry-Pérot techniques, as part of the GHASP survey (see Russeil et al., this meeting). For each galaxy, we combined high resolution Hα rotation curves derived from 2-D velocity fields, with low resolution HI data, in order to determine accurately the inner slope of the rotation curve which strongly constrains the distribution of matter. Our work suggests the existence of a constant density core in the center of the dark halos.
