They have comercial operation and clubs. You need good map and car to
find this place. Translate to french and memorize: "Excuse me, where
is village Beynes?"
Something that sounds like "Pardon madam, oo e veeye le Beynes?" :-)
As I remember phonetically "agosh"=left "adruat"=right
"tudrua"=straight
It is not easy to find this place so without GPS you need to stop and
ask people. I had a check ride there by French instructor who did not
speak English and I did not speak French.

adventure!
Basic French phrazes that an american may need meeting atractive
