Hi,
I tested different scheme (sweep+map, submap, etc) but always leading to bad elements quality: how would you proceed?
Thanks for your advices

No
I missed it when I made the model using FreeCAD 
Except if I’m mistaken, the part should be identical to:

Brick x 40 y 50 z 100
Brick x 50 y 50 z 100
Volume 2 move y 20 z 10
subtract volume 2 from volume 1
Brick x 50 y 50 z 100
Volume 3 move x 35 z 10
subtract volume 3 from volume 1
modify curve 50 blend radius 10
modify curve 54 blend radius 30
volume all copy reflect origin -20. 0. 0. direction -1. 0. 0.
imprint all
merge all
You could try to do a inside out mesh on the part with the tangencies.
First you would need to do decompose the troublesome part. Afterwards you can composite some surfaces and take control of the sweep directions and meshing order.
