The thread is almost as old as the gun, but here is the field stripping info.

You have to pull back then up on the front sight bar. Be careful not to let the recoil spring go flying off into the corner. That is about it. With the spring out, the slide is removed by pulling it all the way back and then lifting it up and over the spring tunnel.

Further disassembly is definitely NOT recommended; especially DO NOT try to remove the extractor as it breaks very easily and parts are not available.

I see Mike thought this was a really wild design. It was so wild, in fact, that it was later used in a small pocket pistol by an obscure company called Smith & Wesson. Anyone who is familiar with the S&W Escort is looking at the basic Bayard design.
