Abstract
In this paper we describe in detail the reduction, preparation and reliability of the photometric catalogues which comprise the CFH12K-VIRMOS deep field. This region, consisting of four contiguous pointings of the CFH12K wide-field mosaic camera, covers a total area of 1.2 deg^2. The survey reaches a limiting magnitude of B AB~26.5, V AB~26.2, R AB~25.9and I AB~25.0(corresponding to the point at which our recovery rate for simulated point-like sources sources falls below 50%). In total the survey contains 90 729 extended sources in the magnitude range 18.0
