Table 1: Relevant parameters of the observed sample of Cepheids, sorted by increasing period.
Table 2: Relevant parameters of the calibrators.
Table 11: Order 0. Cepheid average angular diameters and distances derived from the VINCI interferometric measurements, assuming a constant diameter model ( $\Delta D=0$ ), The average diameter $\overline {D}$ is taken from Gieren et al. (1998). Two error bars are given in brackets for the angular diameter: the statistical dispersion and the calibration systematics. The uncertainty mentioned for the distance d is the quadratic sum of the statistical, calibration and P-R a priori diameter errors, the last two being systematic in nature. The three types of errors are also reported separately in brackets. The results for $\ell$ Car are mentioned only for completeness, but are not meant to be used for further analysis, as our observations are inconsistent with a constant diameter model.
Table 12: Order 1. Cepheid angular diameters and distances, assuming the average diameter $\overline {D}$ of Gieren et al. (1998). The diameter variation curve $\Delta D(\phi )$ is integrated from the radial velocity curve. Only the distance is ajusted by the fitting procedure. The error bars on d are given as in Table 11.
Table 13: Order 2. Cepheid average angular diameters and distances determined through the application of the modified BW method. The only input is the diameter variation curve $\Delta D(\phi )$ derived from the integration of the radial velocity. The distance and average angular diameter are ajusted simultaneously. The statistical and systematic errors on d are listed separately in brackets.
Table 14: Average UD angular diameter of $\eta$ Aql and $\zeta$ Gem from the litterature, and the associated conversion factor $\rho = \theta _{\rm LD} / \theta _{\rm UD}$ from the linear limb darkening coefficients of Claret (2000).

Table 7: VINCI/VLTI and FLUOR/IOTA angular diameter measurements of $\zeta$ Gem. No systematic calibration error is given for FLUOR/IOTA values (negligible compared to the statistical uncertainty). The baseline is given for the VINCI/VLTI observations (in m), while the spatial frequency (in italic) is listed for the measurements obtained with FLUOR, expressed in cycles/arcsec.
