on the drivers or passenger door where the handle is there is usually a piece of trim that can be removed to gain access to a key barrell,you will have to check your car,with regards to the key/remote not working if you have replaced the battery then you really need to get it checked out by a renault specialist

Should have mentioned the card reader fault won't affect your fault with central locking , but other symptoms .
