Hi Christophe. I downloaded your files and examined them. These look like "route" files instead of "activity" files. The difference between a route and an activity is that an activity has time-stamps; routes only have the GPS position points (i.e. location). So, if you really want to join those files, you could use my Add Time Stamp Tool to "fake it" or you could see if you can download the files from a GPS device that also recorded the timestamps.
