That's any rear hub, not necessarily a freehub.

That's a freewheel hub. The French don't always make the same distinction
between a freehub and freewheel that Anlgophones do, so there can be some
ambiguity. A freehub can be called "un moyeu à roue-libre integrée", but
"moyeu à cassette" is simpler and unambiguous.

I'm still not sure if you're looking for the hub itself or just the
cassette body, but see my previous post for both options.
