Complete R4 amateur

Please assist. I have inherited a 1988 R4 van (typical french farmers car) when buying my house here which drove beautifully forward into the barn but I cannot find the reverse gear to get it out!! Not having any experience of these wonderful little cars, and short of flagging down another french driver in one to try and explain the problem (my french is limited so could get into difficulties asking about his gear stick) I thought I might ask the experts. The only other ones I have seen have traditional gear sticks not the dashboard variety. Neutral appears to be about half way in and one forward gear is completely in and another forward gear completely out (not sure which one is which) but no sign of a reverse no matter where I try! All advice welcome. I am five miles from nearest town and temporarily stranded.
