Not sure what you are showing us there. Doesn't look very Renault 4 to me, or am I missing something? Try pressing the button by the gear-stick inside the car.
On an R4 the bonnet catch is located at the top against the bulkhead the bonnet hinges are at the front so as @angel wrote the bonnet opens the other way aka the save way.
The release is a press knob right of the geastick as @Cornish4 wrote.
It's not a run of the mill car where the catch is at the front above the grill
