DESCRIPTION:Old\, metal-poor stars are not only expected to be present in 
 the Milky Way halo and the dwarf galaxies. A prediction of simulations is 
 that the fraction of stars that are both old and metal-poor is highest tow
 ards the centres of galaxies: in their bulges. However\, the number densit
 y of (metal-rich) stars is very high towards the centre of the Milky Way\,
  and as a result of that\, targeted or very large surveys are needed to un
 cover significant samples of very metal-poor stars in this region of our G
 alaxy. In this talk\, I will present the Pristine Inner Galaxy Survey (PIG
 S)\, which is building towards an unprecedented large sample of very metal
 -poor stars in the bulge region using metallicity-sensitive photometry. I 
 will focus on our recent results on the kinematics of the metal-poor tail 
 of the Galactic bulge.
