I had really good luck with Fin De Bagnol one year; but they do need to be picked very small for the best flavor. They were productive also and made for a fairly long time; but once I tried Maxibel bush beans I never looked back. They have great flavor and they are super productive for a French style filet bean. They are also larger than most filet beans so picking is easier and I don't have to plant as many to have enough for our family to eat.
You might want to try planting several rows of different varieties and see which ones work better in your garden. That is what I did and now I only plant filet beans because I like the flavor so much. I still try a new filet bean nearly every year to compare with the Maxibel but so far I haven't found one that beats it in flavor and production.
