It will cost you a few hunderd quid to get this sorted by Renault... or get some handy person to get the bonnet open, and using a cable tie connected to the passenger side bonnet release, connect said cable tie, and let the end poke out from the bonnet. This then becomes your new bonnet release. Any eagle eyed person with the knowledge will be able to open your bonnet from the outside. So do be wary of this solution. But it only costs a few pence for a cable tie vs a few hunderd quid from Reno.
If you want to get the bonnet open when the catch has broken and the is no cable to get hold of the Renault Grand Espace; use the screwdriver to PUSH the catch from right to left.
Release the main bonnet catch on the steering wheel column. Push the bonnet catch in the front grill once and it'll come out half way, then pull the half out catch to open the bonnet.

a long reach screw driver through the grill to release the catch,
i think it under the glove compartment on the passengers side ( red handle )
if its the lever, that's beside the drivers knee. the catch in the bonnet is just inside the lip of the bonnet to the left of the badge above the bumper
Reach up from under car hold cable and push toward bonnet catch
the bonnet release lever on my 1991 205 is underneath the glovebox on the side by the door, and when the bonnet pops open, there is a small catch roughly in the centre, push it up (towards the bonnet) and pull the bonnet open.
