Article on timber construction techniques for a magazine.
Le gros œuvre d'un bâtiment en colombage comporte, d'une part, une ossature bois faite de sablières hautes et basses, de poteaux de décharges et de tournisses ; d'autre part, le remplissage des murs entre les bois, c'est-à-dire le colombage à proprement parler.

Reference:
En architecture de colombage, dans un pan de bois (le mur), la tournisse est un poteau vertical de remplissage qui relie une sablière (horizontale de reprise de charges) à une écharpe (diagonale qui ne transmet pas de charges verticales) ou à une décharge (oblique qui transmet les charges verticales).

The diagonal is a "brace", generally between plate and post.
I wouldn't have called it a "poteau"

| Sorry, I closed it before I'd realized that you put 'brace'. You should have got the points, but KudoZ won't let me go back on that. |

I was still researching this when you found your own answer, but here it is for the record.
Diagram here: http://www.commeunpro.com/dossiers/construc_bois/tr_construc...
Here: http://books.google.com/books?id=EY5E5bp9KGwC&pg=PA65&lpg=PA...
it's called "brace" or "wind brace", neither of which seems to reflect the idea that it transmits downwards the vertical load transmitted to it by the tournisse, as described in Fourth's link, however.
Here though (page 231) : http://books.google.com/books?id=EY5E5bp9KGwC&pg=PA65&lpg=PA...
you'll find it (and other terms) given as "diagonal brace".
