During Operation Torch - the invasion of French North Africa - British and US troops fought against the French Armee d'Afrique who were under the command of Vichy France - which was considered at least by their commanders to be the current legal government of France.
The landings were very mixed being opposed reasonably effectivly in some places and welcomed in others, in all around a 1000 British and US troops were killed or wounded in various fights - but balanced against that several French Generals and units welcomed them with open arms - after the end of Torch the Vichy Government was taken over by Germany and the remaining Armee d'Afrique units became an Army Corps fighting with the allies for the rest of the war.

So, on July 1940, the English sank the French fleet situated in Mers-el Kebir (Algeria), the Vichy ministers tried to convince Maréchal Pétain to declare war to England. Pétain refused saying "one defeat is enough". General De Gaulle who settled a "Free-France" government in London, declared that the Catapult Operation was justified and he prefered the French Fleet to be destroyed than in the hands of Germany. Even, if war was not declared, French Vichy and Great Britain broke every diplomatic link.
