Strasbourg
Clermont-Ferrand

Answer

Following the German occupation of Paris during World War II, the government relocated to various cities, including Tours and Bordeaux, before settling in Vichy. Clermont-Ferrand's strategic location and infrastructure made it a suitable choice for this temporary governmental base during tumultuous times.
