Answer
Southeast France, including Vichy, remained under the control of the collaborationist Vichy regime led by Marshal Philippe Pétain after the Fall of France in June 1940. This region was known as the "Free Zone" and functioned as a nominally independent state, while the northern part of France, including Paris, was directly occupied by Nazi Germany.
