  Hi Thierry,

  You can indeed host WordPress on your own computer rather than with a web hosting company, however you should know that it can be much more complicated, and we would not be able to help you with any problems that you run across.

  I did however do a quick search online and found a help article on the make.wordpress.org site which walks you through the first steps required; getting a webserver up and running. From there you can install WordPress.org and build your site. You can find it right here:
