<menu>
    <add id="Pfay_Contacts" title="Pierre FAY Contacts" module="Pfay_Contacts" sortOrder="20" dependsOnModule="Pfay_Contacts" resource="Pfay_Contacts::contacts"/>

public function __construct(Template\Context $context, array $data = array())
{
    parent::__construct($context, $data);
    $this->setData('contacts',array());
}

public function addContacts($count)
{
    $_contacts = $this->getData('contacts');
    $actualNumber = count($_contacts);
    $names = array();
    for($i=$actualNumber;$i<($actualNumber+$count);$i++) {
        $_contacts[] = 'nom '.($i+1);
    }

Answer 1

If you want to create an admin menu in admin side, then please follow this link

and later you can compare your code and above module code to check whether you did a mistake.

Answer 2

You have missing Acl which manage admin access area permission.

Create acl.xml at app/code/Pfay/Contacts/etc/ and you have to define the ACL for this module URLs.

If you check menu.xml you will find out you have use resource resource="Pfay_Contacts::contacts" but does not define the resource.

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<config xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="urn:magento:framework:Acl/etc/acl.xsd">
    <acl>
        <resources>
            <resource id="Magento_Backend::admin">
                <!-- Menu -->
                <resource id="Pfay_Contacts::contacts" title="Pierre FAY Contacts" translate="title" sortOrder="100">
                    <resource id="Pfay_Contacts::index" title="Pierre FAY Contacts" translate="title" sortOrder="101">
                    </resource>
                </resource>
            </resource>
        </resources>
    </acl>
</config>

Menu.xml

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<config xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="urn:magento:module:Magento_Backend:etc/menu.xsd">
<menu>
    <add id="Pfay_Contacts::contacts" title="Pierre FAY Contacts" module="Pfay_Contacts" sortOrder="20" dependsOnModule="Pfay_Contacts" resource="Pfay_Contacts::contacts"/>
    <add id="Pfay_Contacts::index" title="Pierre FAY Contacts" module="Pfay_Contacts" action="contacts/test/index" parent="Pfay_Contacts" sortOrder="20" dependsOnModule="Pfay_Contacts" resource="Pfay_Contacts::contacts" parent="Pfay_Contacts::contacts"/>
</menu>
