French/Runner Beans

  ???   Next year I want to try growing a mixture of runner beans and french beans mainly to try to save space in the garden.Are they likely to cross pollinate.

No. Different species. The French are vulgar-is and the runners aren't

LOL @ cornykev

French beans like peas are almost self fertile and so breed true if you want to save seed...
Runner beans aren't and will cross out because they are pollinated by flying insects notably bees...
