The CoRoT satellite exoplanetary team announces its sixth transiting planetin this paper. We describe and discuss the satellite observations as well asthe complementary ground-based observations - photometric and spectroscopic -carried out to assess the planetary nature of the object and determine itsspecific physical parameters. The discovery reported here is a `hot Jupiter'planet in an 8.9d orbit, 18 stellar radii, or 0.08 AU, away from its primarystar, which is a solar-type star (F9V) with an estimated age of 3.0 Gyr. Theplanet mass is close to 3 times that of Jupiter. The star has a metallicity of0.2 dex lower than the Sun, and a relatively high $^7$Li abundance. Whilethelightcurveindicatesamuchhigherlevelof activity than, e.g., the Sun, there isno sign of activity spectroscopically in e.g., the [Ca ] H&K lines.
