Its a for sat nav's , iirc. Its a bit of the windscreen that is not uv coated to allow sat nav's to pick up a signal.

I believe its something to do with a pass going there for in france?

The screen is reflective. The patch is for a pass. I hear in france driving on there motorway systems they display a pass so they cameras can scan them and charge the driver for roa usage. Im sure someone will correct me.

10 points to this man(ish)

The renault manual describes it as an area to stick passes and things, as it's the one area of the windscreen without the UV reflective tinting
