The LMC is being surveyed in the Hα emission line with a scanning Fabry-Perot interferometer, attached to the 36 cm telescope of the Observatoire de Marseille. The present results concern the kinematical mapping of bright nebulae; it shows that the kinetic energy involved in the gas motion is closely related to the evolutionary stage of the embedded stars. In particular, in the 30 Dor nebula, a few one-peaked line profiles remain at the boundaries of the shells, among the numerous split areas. The 50-100 pc shells exhibit a relatively usual spherical expansion, with velocities in the same range at the boundaries. On the contrary, the 10-20 pc shells of the central core show different velocities of the one-peak sides of the shells.
