During a five-day meeting in warm Provence, at the exact location where many key observations for transiting extrasolar planets have taken place, 80 researchers from all fields, observers and theoreticians, gathered to share their new discoveries and enjoy fruitful discussions. Beyond detection, characterization, and interior modeling, participants focused on the new scenarios for formation, migration and interactions within a planetary system, motivated by recent discoveries of misaligned planets with respect to the equatorial plane of their parent star. Attendance was high for the entire week and participants were largely motivated. This book is a collection of almost all of their contributions to this colloquium, a state of the art presentation of transiting planets and their dynamics, at second contact, in 2010. Papers include invited reviews, regular talks and posters. They are organized in this book as during the meeting, in six thematical sections.
