We study the large time behaviour of the Fisher-KPP equation
$ \partial_t u = \Delta u +u-u^2 $
 in spatial dimension
$ N $
, when the initial datum is compactly supported. We prove the existence of a Lipschitz function
$ s^\infty $
 of the unit sphere, such that
$ u(t, x) $
 approaches, as
$ t $
 goes to infinity, the function
$ U_{c_*}\bigg(|x|-c_*t + \frac{N+2}{c_*} \mathrm{ln}t + s^\infty\Big(\frac{x}{|x|}\Big)\bigg), $
where
$ U_{c*} $
 is the 1D travelling front with minimal speed
$ c_* = 2 $
. This extends an earlier result of Gärtner.
Keywords: Fisher-KPP equation, logarithmc delay, large time behaviour.
