We present in this paper the technical characteristics of a new polarimetric unit dedicated to the MuSiCoSéchelle spectrograph. The first test runs indicate that our instrument is very good at measuring polarisation or depolarisation structures in line profiles. It is therefore one of the very few facilities worldwide for studying magnetic topologies of active and chemically peculiar stars through rotational modulation of linearly and circularly polarised Zeeman signatures in line profiles.

... s also a very interesting tool for investigating geometries of non-axisymmetric circumstellar environments through depolarisation of spectral lines formed within the scattering envelope.
