"Scales" with a capital S, maybe? Les Échelles?
Although according to google translate and wiktionary, the word "balance" exists identically in French.
"Balance" is the first obvious word I thought about. Alas, I cannot use it because of its much more widespread other meaning : a weight measurement device. It could evoke the Scales of Justice, which is good, but only (I think) on a second tought. Let my readers' minds stumble like this would disrupt the flow of the story, and I want to avoid that.
