Asteroseismology is a powerful tool to measure the fundamental properties of\nstars and probe their interiors. This is particularly efficient for red giants\nbecause their modes are well detectable and give information on their deep\nlayers. However, the seismic relations used to infer the mass and radius of a\nstar have been calibrated on the Sun. Therefore, it is crucial to assess their\naccuracy for red giants which are not perfectly homologous to it. We study\neclipsing binaries with a giant component to test their validity. We identified\n16 systems for which we intend to compare the dynamical masses and radii\nobtained by combined photometry and spectroscopy to the values obtained from\nasteroseismology. In the present work, we illustrate our approach on a system\nfrom our sample.\n
