They are often called the same thing.  A valance is usually just a 
rectangular piece of curtain fabric that's hung at the top of a rod 
over the other curtains.

A pelmet is a wooden structure that's covered with fabric.  It also 
fits over the top of the rod.

It's also sometimes called a "cornice".
