I solved the problem

 string url = "http://www.ta-meteo.fr/troyes.htm";

 Encoding iso = Encoding.GetEncoding("iso-8859-1");
   HtmlWeb web = new HtmlWeb()
        {
            AutoDetectEncoding = false,
            OverrideEncoding = iso,
        };

   HtmlDocument doc = web.Load(url);
   HtmlNode bulletinMatin = doc.DocumentNode.SelectSingleNode("//*[@id='blockdetday0']/div[1]/p[1]");
   MessageBox.Show(bulletinMatin.InnerText);
