| | vis à tête bi-hexagonale | Explanation:
I don't know if that's any help, but it seems that even in EN they are often referred to like this, and I haven't found anything else in FR. I don't quite know why they refer to them as '12 point', but I suppose if they have 12 sides, they also have 12 angles!
Here's a rather 'informal' site where the type of screw is discussed:

Here's another (UK, translated > FR) site that refers to them as having "12 pans":
Hydrobolt

Ah yes, if you visit the above site, they also describe them as 'bi-hexagonal', which word seems to be used in EN and FR

1 hr confidence:   peer agreement (net): +1 Vis “Countr-Bor" [ou vis à tête (de Ferry)]
Explanation:
Tony answered while I was gathering my references but it appears that we are talking about the same head screw. It is a specialty screw made by the company Ferry. A Canadian company gives it the name "vis 'countr-bor,'" after what the Ferry company calls it. These screws are a type of "vis à tête" or socket cap (or head) screw.
The Ferry Cap & Set Screw Company specializes in the manufacture of cold-headed, high-strength, precision fasteners. Founded in 1906, Ferry Cap is still headquartered at its original site at the top of Cleveland's historic Flats district, and is now a division of Doncasters.
Since the 1950's, Ferry Cap has pioneered and expanded the use of the Countr-bor screw in worldwide industrial applications as a superior alternative and replacement of the **socket-head cap screw.** For nearly 30 years Ferry Cap was the only fastener manufacturer to maintain a complete packaged goods inventory of this product, serving hundreds of fastener distributors and OEM customers worldwide. Ferry Cap is an approved supplier for such notable companies as Caterpillar Tractor, International Truck and Engine, Detroit Diesel, Cummins Engine, Dana, John Deere, and Mack Trucks.

http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vis_de_fixation#Vis_d.27assembl...
Les vis sont fabriquées industriellement depuis le XIXe siècle. Les vis fabriquées au XIXe siècle avaient toutes des têtes plates. Au début du XXe siècle, pour éviter que le tournevis ne glisse sur la tête de la vis, le canadien Peter L. Robertson invente la vis à tête carrée. Au même moment, un américain invente la vis à tête étoilée pour résoudre le même problème.
La vis à tête carrée est très populaire au Canada alors que la vis à tête étoilée est très populaire ailleurs dans le monde. Cependant, aucun type de vis n'a su s'imposer complètement et on retrouve tous les types de vis dans tous les pays... au grand désespoir des bricoleurs!
