My bad, was not aware of this possibility. So it just should work ? I am gonna retry the proces today. I have tried it once some time ago but no avail… Should the new version of the site reside on the same sever ?
You just have to update the plugin to the latest version (2.36.0) and choose the “SQLite” database driver in the settings.
Should the new version of the site reside on the same sever ?
Yes, it is preferable. If it is not located on the same server, you must first copy the SPIP database to the WordPress server.

Ok copied the database (spip.sqlite) to the test server and changed ownership to www-data.
After that I have chosen for de Sqlite driver in the plugin
Filled in the path to the db file (/tmp/spip.sqlite)
And then I get the following error:
Connection failed
See the errors in the log below
And the errors are:
=== START test_database 2019-03-24 14:29:55 ===
[ERROR] Couldn’t read the SPIP database SQLite file: /tmp/spip.sqlite
=== END test_database 2019-03-24 14:29:55 ===
Obviusly I do something wrong
NB:
the user www-data owns the file
permissions of the file are set to 777
I also tried the import with a backup from the spip site also not working
Any help much appreciated !

Could you open a ticket on https://www.fredericgilles.net/support/ and send me your SQLite database? I’ll do the test.
Update:
I have imported successfully your SPIP database to WordPress.
You must check the database location of the SQLite file and the tables prefix.
