A 200 x 200 x 10 is a Square Hollow Section.
A HEB 160 is a european wide flange beam (basically a column section).
Not sure about France but in the UK these come with a yield stress of 275MPa, 355MPa, or 460MPa for normal structural purposes.
We are all (Europe) moving to the Eurocodes so I checked EN 1993. The British version (in english strangely) also has the same values given above.
I think the old French code was NFA 35-501. In this document the equivalent to grade S275 was E-28, S355 was E-36.
Not sure if this helps though.

Loak at page 14 onwards. This gives a comparison between international grades of steel, including American. It might be of some use.
