This is normal Joomla behaviour for "orphaned" or "menuless" articles. To get around this use the hidden-menu technique.
Create a MENU called "hidden" (no need to create a module to place it anywhere). In the hidden menu, create a MENU ITEM for each of the orphaned articles (single article type) and make sure these menu items are published. Now the hidden menu won't appear on any of your pages, but, the articles will now open in their own page. You can also use the same technique and create a hidden category blog menu item to pick up multiple articles too, thus saving having to create a hidden menu item for every article.
If you need more help, Please would you post your URL, superuser id and pswd in the secure tab of your post and I'll have a look for you.

Ok the problem here is that you have two menu items showing the exact same category blog for the exact same category. Namely "Acceuil" and "Actualité" which are both of type "category blog" for category "Actualités & textes écrits". So when Joomla follows an article link it looks for a menu item that it can use to display that article, the menu item that it finds is "Acceuil" and that is what it is using.
So, basically you don't want two menu items doing the exact same thing. I would suggest that you consider change the "Acceuil" to either use "Gantry 5 custom page" (which means it will not show any articles at all any longer) or use type "featured articles" instead and chang ethe article that you do want to show to be "featured". Or you can could change the category that each of those menu items are looking at to be different.
