Hi Fabrice,
ListInterpolation should be better suited to the task:
"ListInterpolation is similar to Interpolation, but provides a more
convenient interface for data that does not include coordinates and for
multidimensional data."
See http://documents.wolfram.com/mathematica/functions/ListInterpolation
