An excitonic method proper to study conjugated oligomers and polymers is described and its applicability tested on the ground state and first excited states of trans-polyacetylene, taken as a model. From the Pariser-Parr-Pople Hamiltonian, we derive an effective Hamiltonian based on a local description of the polymer in term of monomers; the relevant electronic configurations are build on a small number of pertinent local excitations. The intuitive and simple microscopic physical picture given by our model supplement recent results, such as the Rice and Garstein ones. Depending of the parameters, the linear absorption appears dominated by an intense excitonic peak.
