International audience We present long term site testing statistics obtained at Dome C, Antarctica with various experiments deployed within the Astroconcordia programme since 2003. We give values of integrated turbulence parameters in the visible at ground level and above the surface layer, vertical profiles of the structure constant C_n^2 and a statistics of the thickness of the turbulent surface layer.
