When I upload the gerber files to make the PCB there is no cooper between the soldering points.  
Where is my error ?

You do have traces. It’s just that you did a copper fill and that diminishes the contrast. But I see the traces.

Here the copper layers from kicad’s gerber viewer.

Thanks for your help. Can I remove the cooper fill ? I tought it was necessary. The first time I had it made, there was no cooper in the traces so it was not conductive.

Yes, you can remove the copper fill. It does no harm but I often leave it for simple things cause that means you can modify the board if you have them made but want to drill through the board and add wires 😉
