I’m wondering if it’s better to make one or several files for CSS files ?
I always see websites with a plenty of css files, but it seems better to use only one large file.
What’s your advice ?

Performance wise, you are better off with a single file, as it results in one connection and request to the server (these tend to be expensive operations, time wise).
This is why minifying frameworks exist, that merge together all the CSS (and JavaScript) files for each page and serve them in one request.
