Abstract
With the advent of large-collecting-area instruments, the number of objects that can be reached by optical long-baseline interferometry is steadily increasing. We present here a few results on massive binary stars, showing the interest of using this technique for studying the insight of interactions in these systems. Indeed, many massive stars with extended environments host, or are suspected to host, companion stars. These companions could have an important role in shaping the circumstellar environment of the system. These examples provide a view in which binarity could be an ingredient, among many others, for the activity of these stars.
