Yes. As of June 7, 1942, all Jews over the age of six were forced to wear the Star of David on the left side of a garment in plain sight, such as a coat. This was done intentionally to humiliate the Vichy government, which had been attempting to use Hitler's agenda as an excuse and justification for the deportation of foreign Jews from French soil.
