   When I'd like to test my installation, I'm writting a very simple
   TeX file :

No.  That is not a TeX file.  It is a LaTeX file, and old LaTeX, to boot.

   \documentstyle{article}  
   \begin{document}
   Voici mon premier document avec \LaTeX{}.
   \end{document}

   (if I use \documentclass, it's exactly the same problem)

Please use \documentclass for new documents.  You lose a lot of memory,
speed, quality and functionality in LaTeX2.09 compatibility mode.

   and then my log file looks like this :

   This is TeX, Version 3.14159 (Web2C 7.3.1) (format=tex 2000.10.3)  16 MAY 
   2001 19:37
   **debile
   (debile.tex
   ! Undefined control sequence.
   l.1 \documentclass
                     {article}

Obviously, you called
tex
instead of
latex
