  We present preliminary results on Herschel/PACS mid/far-infrared photometric
observations of INTEGRAL supergiant High Mass X-ray Binaries (HMXBs), with the
aim of detecting the presence and characterizing the nature of absorbing
material (dust and/or cold gas), either enshrouding the whole binary systems,
or surrounding the sources within their close environment. These unique
observations allow us to better characterize the nature of these HMXBs, to
constrain the link with their environment (impact and feedback), and finally to
get a better understanding of the formation and evolution of such rare and
short-living supergiant HMXBs in our Galaxy.
