the indexes are created and the data loaded and then, I run vacuum analyze.

the keys selected from the "rubrique" table?
only 1 record.
If it is likely to fetch a high proportion of the rows from article
then it may be best that a seq scan is performed.
What are your non-default postgresql.conf settings? It may be better
to increase the default_statistics_target (to say 100 to 200) before
running ANALYZE and then re-run the query.
yes, default_statistics_target is set to the default_value.
I have just increased shared_buffers and effective_cache_size to give
advantage of 1 Mb RAM
