Just make sure there's no blank between the macro variable name and the dot:

%let Feuille = Villes et rues;

proc export
  data=sashelp.class
  file="/folders/myfolders/class.xlsx"
  dbms=xlsx
  replace
;
sheet="&Feuille.";
run;

I'm not sure what the question is, the code you provided (if you add a semi-colon at the end of the %LET statement) should work perfectly.
