Vichy France
The puppet government was in the southern sector of France and was known as the Vichy Government run by Marachal Petain
Vichy physically controlled the unoccupied zone in the South of France, leaving the North of France to the Nazis. However, they were officially the government of France as a whole. In 1942, Germany completely occupied all of France, including the Vichy region and Vichy became a mere puppet government.

France
France was part of the allied forces (America, UK, Australia etc.) until it was taken over by Germany, the Nazis made France into a "puppet" nation and than ordered them to fight against the allies. They began on the allied side, but were forced to surrender and join the axis forces after being conquered by the Nazis.
The Nazis were thrown out of France in 1944.
Because the Nazis went until the middle of France and French government succeeded to get that the half South of France was not occupied by Germans.
The Germans didn't let the "free French" government run anything. It was known as the Free French government IN EXILE because they had to get out of France and all German-controlled areas. The only government the NAZIs recognized in France was the one that was allied with Germany, the Vichy gov't.
holland was invaded first. the Nazis used holland to get to France.
The Nazis wanted the Rhineland back. It belonged to Germany, not France. They got it back when Britain and France tried to appease the Nazis.
They were called Nazis.
France weren't with the Nazis at all. Hitler invaded France so they had to obey the Nazis or be executed
