Context. Among the 160 known exoplanets, mainly detected in large radial- velocity surveys, only 8 have a characterization of their actual mass and radius thanks to the two complementary methods of detection: radial velocities and photometric transit. Aims. We started in March 2004 an exoplanet- search programme biased toward high- metallicity star stars which are more frequently host extra- solar planets. This survey aims to detect close- in giant planets, which are most likely to transit their host star. Methods. For this programme, high- precision radial velocities are measured with the ELODIE fiber- fed spectrograph on the 1.93- m telescope, and high- precision photometry is obtained with the CCD Camera on the 1.20- m telescope, both at the Haute- Provence Observatory. Results. We report here the discovery of a new transiting hot Jupiter orbiting the star orbiting HD189733. The planetary nature of this object is confirmed by the observation of both the spectroscopic and photometric transits. The exoplanet HD189733 b, with an orbital period of 2.219 days, has one of the shortest orb orbital periods detected by radial velocities, and presents the largest photometric depth in the light curve c (similar to 3%) observed to date. We estimate for the planet a mass of 1.15 +/- 0. 04 M-J and a radius of 1. 26 +/- 0. 03 R-J. Considering that HD189733 has. the same visual magnitude as the well known exoplanet host star HD209458, further ground- based and space- based follow- up observations are very promising and will permit a characterization of the atmosphere and exosphere of this giant exoplanet.
