Hi Sandrine

You can use DISTANCE and GEOLOCATION functions(work in formula)
  
DISTANCE(GEOLOCATION(LAT_1__c,LON_1__c), GEOLOCATION(LAT_2__c,LON_2__c), 'mi')

As a common practice, if your question is answered, please choose 1 best answer. 
But you can give every answer a thumb up if that answer is helpful to you.

Thanks,
Alex
