  The few central parsecs of the Galaxy are known to contain a surprising
population of early-type stars, including at least 30 Wolf-Rayet stars and
luminous blue variables (LBV), identified thanks to their strong emission
lines. Despite the presence of emission from ionised interstellar material in
the same lines, the latest advances in spectro-imaging have made it possible to
use the absorption lines of the OB stars to characterise them as well. This
stellar population is particularly intriguing in the deep potential well of the
4 million solar mass black hole Sgr A*. We will review the properties of these
early-type stars known from spectro-imagery, and discuss possible formation
scenarios.
